MADISON, N.J. – Two days after putting the finishing touches on an incredible regular season, the Drew University men's basketball team has achieved another major milestone.
 
For the first time in team history, the Rangers have earned a place in the national rankings, grabbing the No. 25 spot in this week's D3hoops.com Top 25.
 
Under third-year Head Coach Michael McSloy, Drew closed the regular season on a school-record 14 game winning streak – three games longer than the previous record set last year – to bring its current overall record to 22-3. In addition, the Rangers were perfect in the Landmark Conference, running the table at 18-0 to become the first men's basketball team in Landmark history to go undefeated in conference play.
