The second set of fall rankings includes men's and women's cross country, men's and women's soccer and volleyball.

Lindsey Wilson scored 100 points for winning the women's soccer national championship, 64 points for a ninth-place finish in volleyball and 53 points for a ninth-place finish in men's soccer.

Only Cal State San Marcos' 222 points and Olivet Nazarene's (IL) 218.5 points are in front of Lindsey Wilson's total.
