INDIANAPOLIS, IN - The Holy Family University Women's Basketball team is currently ranked 12th in the latest USA Today/ESPN Division II Coaches' Poll which was released Tuesday afternoon.

Currently sporting a 21-2 overall record, the Tigers are a perfect 18-0 in the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference and have clinched the top-seed in the upcoming conference playoffs. The Tigers are riding a 44-game regular season conference winning streak.
