LILBURN, Ga. (Dec. 5) – The California (PA) women's basketball team dropped seven positions to No. 17 in the latest Women's Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA) Top 25 Coaches' Poll on Tuesday afternoon.

The Vulcans have been featured in the national poll for three-straight weeks, climbing to No. 10 last week after debuting at No. 20 on Nov. 21. Cal posted a season-low field-goal percentage while suffering a 74-61 loss at Bowie State last Monday. The Vulcans started Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) Crossover play on Friday with a 75-68 overtime victory at Millersville after erasing an 11-point deficit in the fourth quarter. The following day, Cal posted a 64-63 win at Shepherd while collecting nearly 20 offensive rebounds.

The PSAC continues to boast three teams in the national rankings this week. Gannon (9-1) climbed two positions to No. 7 following a pair of 30-point road victories, while West Chester (6-1) also jumped two spots to No. 11 after cruising to a pair of home wins by over a combined 55 points. In the Atlantic Region, Fairmont State (7-0) remains undefeated and is now the lone Mountain East Conference (MEC) in the rankings with Glenville State (6-2) dropping out of the poll. Virginia State (6-0) of the Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association (CIAA) debuted in the rankings at No. 21 after receiving votes last week.

The Vulcans are idle for a week before hosting Fairmont State at the Convocation Center on Dec. 12 at 5:30 p.m.
