Wildcats ranked No. 17 in nation

January 19, 2007 by Daniel Johnson-Kim

By Daniel Johnson, Sports Editor

The ACU baseball team is ranked No. 17 in the nation by the Collegiate Baseball Magazine pre-season poll after posting a 44-18 record in 2006.

Despite the early recognition, head coach Britt Bonneau said he is more watchful of the NCAA Division II Regional poll released in April that will determine if ACU makes the postseason or not.

“Starting at seventeen gives us a chance to move up,” Bonneau said.

In addition to ACU, only two other Lone Star Conference teams are ranked, No. 15 University of Central Oklahoma and No. 33 Angelo State.

“Hopefully over the next six weeks, we’ll get ourselves into the top 10,” Bonneau said.

ACU will begin its season at home against Henderson State Feb. 2.
