KANSAS CITY, Mo. - The Marian football team continues to climb the NAIA Netting Professionals Top-25 poll, as Marian gained two spots this week to move to No. 12 in the NAIA. 

Campbellsville (Ky.) moved into the top 10 and Grand View (Iowa) retained the top spot in the fourth regular-season edition of the Netting Professionals NAIA Coaches' Top 25 Poll, Oct. 6. The top-four overall teams remained the same in Grand View, Keiser, Benedictine, and Morningside, while Friends replaces Montana Tech at No. 5. Lindsey Wilson's win over then-No. 11 Georgetown ranks the Blue Raiders at No. 6, while the Orediggers of Montana Tech jump back in at seven.

Marian's ranking of No. 12 is their highest since last year, when Marian was ranked at No. 10 in the NAIA. Indiana Wesleyan also gained two spots as the benefit from both Georgetown and Southeastern's losses last week, as the leader in the MSFA Mideast League climbs to No. 14. 

Olivet Nazarene and St. Francis (Ind.) join the Knights in the top-25, with the Tigers jumping to 24 and the Cougars to 25. Taylor remains a receiving votes team, garnering 10 votes this week.

The Knights take on the Trojans at 7:00 p.m. this Saturday in Upland, Ind.
