RIVERSIDE, Calif. – For the second time this year, California Baptist University is receiving votes in the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association NCAA Division I top-30 poll.
The Lancers were one 55 teams to receive votes in the NCBWA's new rankings released on Monday. CBU is coming off a season-ending Western Athletic Conference series victory at New Mexico State that clinched it a share of the WAC title.
CBU ended the year with a 35-20 record in its first season in Division I, while going 19-8 in the WAC to become just the second team to ever win a regular-season conference title in its first D-I campaign.
It is the fourth-straight season in which the Lancers have won 35 games, which are the third most by a team in its first season in D-I. Forty teams have made that move since 1998.
Dallas Baptist holds the record for wins in its first D-I year at 44 back in 2004, while Florida Gulf Coast is second with 38 back in 2008 and is the only other team to win a regular-season conference title after it won the Atlantic Sun crown 11 years ago. Â Â Â
The Lancers were last receiving votes in the NCBWA on Feb. 25th when it had just gotten out to a 9-0 start to the year. It made them the first team in Division I to reach nine wins in 2019. CBU also finished the year strong by winning nine of their last 11 games.
