Coppin State continues to receive votes in this week’s NCAA Division I Poll voted by the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association (NCBWA).
The Eagles (5-3) resume play this weekend on the road visiting UNC-Charlotte in Charlotte, NC., March 9-10 with the first two games scheduled as a doubleheader Saturday. Sunday’s single finale raps up the three-game series.
Head baseball coach Sherman Reed stated before the start of the 2019 season that this is clearly the most talented team he’s had in eight years as head coach at Coppin. The Eagles have a tough non-conference schedule in both mid-week and weekend games including games in the MEAC division.
The 2019 poll voters come from among 35 college baseball writers and related media persons from throughout the nation.
This week’s current survey has representation by eight different conferences among the 299 baseball-playing schools in the 2019 NCAA Division I ranks. The rankings of 2018 had 15 different DI conferences rated at least one week.
