HOLY FAMILY WOMEN'S BASKETBALL CLIMBS TO 22ND IN USA TODAY/ESPN COACHES POLL

PHILADELPHIA - Despite not playing a game last week, the Holy Family University women's basketball team moved up three spots to 22nd in the most recent USA Today/ESPN Division II Coaches Poll that was released on Tuesday.

Holy Family returned to the poll last week in the 25th spot after a six-week hiatus. The Tigers are currently 13-1 overall and 6-0 against the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference (CACC). Holy Family is riding a 13-game winning streak. The Tigers also have a 90-game CACC regular season winning streak, two shy of tying the NCAA Division II record.

The Tigers are the only CACC team in the poll.

Holy Family returns to the court on Thursday, January 21 at CACC rival Philadelphia University. Tip-time is 6 p.m.
