OXFORD, Oh. - After a successful 2025 season, the Eagles were nabbed third in the 2026 River States Conference coaches poll the league office announced today. 

The national championship runner-ups, West Virginia Tech, are this years favorite as they finished with 49 points (seven first place votes).

The rest of the field in order are: Saint Mary of the Woods (29), Brescia (25), IU Columbus (22), IU East (15) and Kentucky Christian (7).
