Concordia University Wisconsin (10-9-1, 8-4) was picked fourth, Benedictine University (10-5-1, 8-3-1) fifth, and Marian University (9-9, 6-6) sixth with 99 points.

MSOE (9-7-3, 7-4-1) was chosen seventh with 94 points, Lakeland College (7-12, 6-6) eighth, and Maranatha Baptist Bible College (6-14, 3-9) ninth.

Concordia University Chicago (4-15, 4-8) received one more point than Wisconsin Lutheran College (2-16-2, 2-10) for the number ten slot.

Alverno College (6-13, 1-11) and Rockford College (4-14, 0-12) finish the poll in the final two spots.
