After 13 straight wins, including one over a Top 5 Carroll College squad, the Rocky Mountain College women's basketball team has climbed into the fourth edition of the 2021-22 NAIA Women's Basketball Coaches' Top 25 Poll.

Carroll stayed in the Top 10 at No. 6, while the Battlin' Bear women sit at No. 15 in the poll. The University of Providence women, who were also previously unranked, rose to No. 23 after a victory over Montana Western to start the new year. The Western women dropped from No. 21 to No. 25.

Carroll's men remain the only Frontier Conference team to be in the 2021-22 NAIA Men's Basketball Coaches' Top 25 Poll, although they too dropped in the latest poll to No. 6. Meanwhile, Montana Tech is receiving votes.
