West Texas A&M is #2 followed by Texas A&M Kingsville, New Mexico Highlands, St. Edward's and St. Mary's to round out the top six. Tarleton State and CSU-Pueblo are seventh and eighth. The top six teams in the poll advance to the NCAA Tournament after the final poll is released on May 11th.

LEADING THE WAY

PLAYER OF THE YEAR
Senior outfielder Austin Kaiser was named the RMAC's Player of the Year and was a unanimous pick for All-RMAC First Team. The Colorado Springs native leads NCAA Division II nationally in batting average, hits, and total bases. Kaiser also had a 20-game hit streak this season and has had multiple hits in 32 of 46 games played this season

COACH OF THE YEAR
This is the seventh time in his 16 seasons at Colorado Mesa Head Coach Chris Hanks has been named RMAC Coach of the Year. The Mavs won the RMAC regular season championship for the tenth time under Hanks and are poised to make the NCAA Division II tournament for the twelfth time under his leadership. During the regular season, he moved up one spot to ninth in NCAA Division II for career winning percentage with a .686 mark, tops in the RMAC.

DRIVE EM IN
The Mavericks are 28-4 this season when they score six runs or more in a game and are just 9-6 when they dont reach the six run mark.

ON DECK
The Mavericks will likely receive an at-large bid into the NCAA Tournament should they not win the RMAC Tournament this weekend. Colorado Mesa is also in line to host the tournament at Suplizio Field.
