The only difference appears to be an abundance of ties.Grand Valley State (2-1) and St. John’s (7-1) are tied at the No. 5 spot, while Missouri State (5-2) and Wake Forest (7-0) are stacked up at No. 18 and North Florida (6-4) and Providence (1-3) are sharing No. 22.Other than Northern Arizona (5-1) moving into the Top 10, the hard facts are the same as they have been for the last month: North Dakota State (6-0) is in control with 19 of 20 first place votes and a 20 point lead.Minn.-Duluth (6-2) continues its role as second fiddle while fellow UMLC colleagues St. Thomas (6-1) and Dayton (4-1) round out the Top 5.Central Conn. State (2-4) exits this week poll to make way for No. 25 Baylor (7-2), as the Bears make their second appearance of the spring. Under Armour MCLA Division II Coaches Poll – Week 5
