After a successful week among many of the nation’s top teams, the top 12 teams remain unchanged in Week 4 of the Extra Inning Softball Top 25 poll.
Oklahoma, UCLA, and Oklahoma State maintain their positions in the top three spots in the poll; Stanford and Tennessee round out the top five.
Washington saw the biggest jump, moving from #19 to #13. Wichita State also jumped two spots, moving up to #22.
New to the poll this week are two Big 10 teams, #20 Nebraska and #23 Maryland. The Huskers completed an undefeated weekend in Tucson, including a win over Arizona, while Maryland was 5-0 in a tournament in Greenville.
Extra Inning Softball‘s Top 25 voting group includes working media members who regularly cover softball, as well as a group of coaches and SIDs.
