The California University women’s basketball team jumped one spot to No. 17 in the latest Women’s Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA) Top 25 poll on Tuesday.

The Vulcans (22-3) earned a pair of victories last week to extend their winning streak to four.

Cal U used a balanced scoring effort Feb. 20 to earn a 76-56 victory at Mercyhurst, as seven players scored at least seven points.

The Vulcans then claimed a 73-65 win over then-No. 3 IUP on Saturday after totaling their second-most three-pointers in a game this season (10 of 21).
