The poll closely reflects the way the conference concluded last season. Just a year ago, Miami took the top spot during the regular season with Akron and Ball State following behind.

As for Eastern Michigan, they return to competition after taking a one-year hiatus last season.Â
The Falcons will resume play this coming weekend, taking on Notre Dame in a double-header on Sunday (Jan. 19) beginning at 10:00 a.m. before returning to Bowling Green on Friday, Jan. 24 to host Youngstown State. The Orange and Brown are coming off a fall campaign that was highlighted by the doubles play of Senior Marharita-Sophia Tavpash and Junior Marta Bettinelli.Â
As for conference play, the Falcons open against Akron on Sunday, March 22 at home followed the following Friday (March 27) against Ball State, also at home. The conference schedule will run through the end of the season from there, concluding the regular season on Sunday, April 19 when the team travels north for the Battle of I-75.Â
