DENTON, Texas (Jan. 7, 2025) – To open the new year, the Texas Woman's basketball team continues to hold strong at No. 2 on both national polls.

TWU (13-1, 6-1) remained locked in at No. 2 this week on both the Women's Basketball Coaches Top 25 Poll and the D2CSC Media National Poll.  
 
On both national polls, Grand Valley State (14-1) remained at No. 1. This week, the Top Five almost mirrored each other on both polls. At No. 3 was Cal State Dominguez Hills (14-0).

On the WBCA Poll, Montana State Billings (14-2) moved up from sixth to fifth, while Seton Hill (13-1) ranks fifth on the D2CSC National Poll.

In the Top 25, just two teams remain unbeaten –Cal State Dominguez Hills and No. 6 North Georgia (12-0). Previously unbeaten Fort Hays State fell last week to Missouri Western on the road.
