While Lenawee Christian has been in the top spot, the differences between 1-10 don't seem much different than 11-20.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Here's a look at the latest top 10.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>1. Lenawee Christian</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Cougars continue to pile up solid wins against some of the top teams in Division 3 and other teams in the D4 mix. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='916067' first='Brynn' last='Davis']</strong> is continuing to play at a high level. Her athleticism is hard to match for other D4 opponents.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>2. MP Sacred Heart</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Irish have had a busy October, facing a lot of top competition to help get it ready for the postseason. SHA has a great defensive base, led by <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='847397' first='Bridget' last='Wiggins']</strong>, while having the firepower at the net to also hang with anyone in Division 4.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>3. Traverse City Christian</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Sabres are playing some of their best volleyball in recent weeks, as they have stacked up wins and are dispatching some teams that can contend for the D3 title. In D4, TC Christian is going to be a handful for opponents.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>4. Battle Creek St. Philip</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Fighting Tigers have also turned a corner in the month of October, stringing together impressive wins while displaying some of the characteristics that have made it the top program in D4 history.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>5. Oakland Christian</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Lancers are battle-tested and have done a great job of creating long rallies by being a very scrappy defensive team. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='455952' first='Sofie' last='Williams']</strong> is one of the top outsides in D4 and looks ready to try and carry her team to a deep postseason run.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>6. Ubly</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Tigers have a lot of experience and plenty of dynamic talent to be a real threat in the D4 postseason race. They are just a few points away from being higher on this list, but that doesn't mean they can't make a run to the top. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='611100' first='Waverly' last='Hagen']</strong> is one of the best in all of D4.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>7. Onekama</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Portagers have shown they can be right in the mix thanks to a win over TC Christian earlier in the season. Their losses have mostly been razor-thin, so if they find ways to pull out those sets, they can reach Battle Creek. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='801096' first='Ava' last='Mauntler']</strong> has been a huge asset defensively and from the service line.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>8. Hancock</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Bulldogs are rolling along, stacking up the wins in the north. The only issue here is the competition hasn't quite been the same as other teams on this list, so it's hard to know just where Hancock stands. But, the beauty of the playoffs is the Bulldogs will have their chance to prove they belong.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>9. Crystal Falls Forest Park</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Similar to Hancock, Forest Park has an impressive record, but we haven't gotten to see the Trojans against the same level of competition over the last month. Early-season battles against top-ranked D4 teams helped shape Forest Park this year, and their consistency will be a problem for anyone that runs into it in the playoffs.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>10. Michigan Lutheran</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Titans are building up their confidence entering the postseason with a nice run of wins. The key for them over the next months will be being able to finish points against the top teams. If they can find another gear for their attack, it could be a great November for Michigan Lutheran.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Next Team In: Kalamazoo Hackett</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Fighting Irish are a bit of a ying and yang team. They have some incredible wins over D1 programs this year, but some head-scratching slip ups too. The potential is clearly there for a big run.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
