Toledo, OH---The Express softball team has entered the NJCAA D-II poll as the ninth ranked team following the release of today's first regular season poll.

The poll is the first since the preseason rankings came out. Despite making three straight trips to the Region XII championship game and finishing as the national runner-up last season, the Express were not ranked in the preseason poll.

The Express have proven themselves on the field thus far with a 13-1 start. Conference play starts today with a road doubleheader against Cuyahoga Community College in Cleveland, OH. We'll have a recap of the action by Thursday evening.
