Lewis is back in the top five of the National Media Poll.

The Flyers jumped two spots to No. 4 in the latest Off the Block National Media Poll that was released on Tuesday.

Lewis extended its winning streak to three matches with a conference road sweep against undefeated McKendree last week. In addition, the first-place Bearcats following this loss dropped one spot to No. 6.

The National Media Poll is the only rankings in NCAA Division I-II men’s volleyball solely determined by media members. The 10 teams receiving the most votes are ranked in the National Media Poll, while other schools earning votes but finishing outside of the top 10 are considered teams receiving votes.

A new national media poll is released every Tuesday during the regular season on Off the Block’s website.
