KANSAS CITY, Mo. – After pulling away from the Rams of Bluefield (Va.) on the road last week, the Eagles moved up one spot in the NAIA Football FirstDown PlayBook Top 25 Poll to No. 9, which was unveiled Monday evening by the NAIA national office.

Reinhardt (7-0, 5-0 Mid-South Conference) swapped spots with now-No. 10 Marian (Ind.) thanks to pulling down 282 voting points.

The hometown team was able to leap over the Knights after 26 points in the third quarter blew a close contest wide open for Reinhardt last Saturday, as the Eagles flew away from the Rams with a big second half in a 50-10 final.

Senior Day is up next on Saturday against the Knights of Kentucky Christian.

Kick is slated for 1 p.m. inside Ken White Field at University.
