Dayton jumped into the AP women's basketball Top 25 for the first time in school history, while Connecticut remained a unanimous No. 1 for the 19th consecutive poll.

The 25th-ranked Flyers (5-1) will get their first test as a Top 25 team Monday night at Illinois-Chicago. Coach Jim Jabir was thrilled his team made the poll.

"That's awesome," Jabir said. "Seven years ago we won three games. Any coach pours their heart and soul into their program and to gain that kind of recognition for our school is special. My 12-year-old son Jackson would check every day where we were in the rankings. Now he'll see us there."

The first nine teams remained the same for a third straight week after going a combined 23-0 with a 29-point average margin of victory last week. Connecticut eased through another week, winning the WBCA Classic.

Stanford was No. 2, followed by No. 3 Ohio State, No. 4 North Carolina and Notre Dame. Tennessee was sixth, then LSU, Baylor, Xavier and Texas A M.

Duke fell a spot to 11th despite two blowout victories in Cancun.

The Blue Devils were followed by Florida State, Georgia, Virginia and Arizona State. Vanderbilt moved up five spots to 16th. Texas dropped four places to 17th after going 2-1 in the Paradise Jam. The Longhorns, who play at Tennessee on Sunday, were followed by Oklahoma, Pittsburgh and California.

DePaul, Michigan State, Georgia Tech, Kansas, and Dayton round out the Top 25.

Georgia Tech joined Dayton as the new entries, with Mississippi State and San Diego State dropping out. The Yellow Jackets were ranked 19th in the preseason poll before dropping out the first week.
