WINONA LAKE, Ind. - Grace's men's basketball team is standing tall this week after being named the No. 1 team in the NAIA Top 25 Coaches' Poll.

The Lancers have continued to climb since the poll was released, rising from No. 4 to No. 1 in this week's edition of the rankings.

Grace is off to a perfect start to the season, beginning the year 8-0 with a young squad. Grace, who has no seniors on the team, is averaging 99 points per game in its eight wins.

The Lancers were last ranked No. 1 in the final regular season poll of the 2023-24 season, a position that Grace held for six consecutive polls.

Grace's next contest is at home next week, hosting Huntington on Wednesday, Dec. 3, at 7:30 p.m. (after the conclusion of the women's matchup).
