INDIANAPOLIS, IN - The Holy Family Women's Basketball team climbed two more spots in the latest USA Today/ESPN Division II Coaches' Poll, as the Tigers are now ranked tenth in the poll which was released Tuesday afternoon by the Women's Basketball Coaches' Association.

The Tigers were 12th in the previous week poll, and this marks the highest position the Tigers have achieved this season.

Holy Family is currently 24-2 and a perfect 21-0 in the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference with one regular-season game remaining. The Tigers have wrapped up the top-seed in the upcoming conference playoffs.

In addition to being ranked in the top ten as a team, the Tigers are ranked among the national leaders in several statistical categories.

Individually, the Tigers are led by point guard Kelly Killion (Jr./Pennsauken, NJ/Camden Catholic), who averages 13.8 points per game. Killion was named as the CACC Player of the Week on Monday, and was also named as the ECAC Co-Player of the Week on Tuesday afternoon.
