PHILADELPHIA - After being on the outside looking in for the past six weeks, the Holy Family University women's basketball team re-entered the USA Today/ESPN Division II Coaches Poll in the 25th spot on Tuesday. The voting was conducted by 30 members of the Women's Basketball Coaches Association.

Holy Family is currently 13-1 overall and 6-0 against the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference (CACC). Last week, the Tigers picked up three conference wins against the University of the Sciences, Chestnut Hill College and Dominican College. Since dropping the season opener, Holy Family has won 13 games in a row.

The Tigers are riding a CACC regular-season win streak of 90 games, two shy of tying the NCAA Division II record. The team has also won its last 59 regular-season home games.

Holy Family is off until visiting Philadelphia University in a CACC clash on Thursday, January 21 at 6 p.m.
