CLEVELAND, OH - The Learfield Directors Cup fall standings released today. The Grand View University Vikings are in 9th place in the NAIA after the fall sports wrapped up this past week.

The Vikings finished in 13th last year at the end of the three athletic seasons (Fall, Winter, Spring). The Vikings are off to a much stronger start in the fall standings this year as Men's Soccer, and Football both took home 2025 National Titles. The Vikings birth into the National tournament for Women's Volleyball has also boosted our points for this fall.

Grand View is at 225.00 points in the standings and leads the Heart of America Conference at this time. Benedictine also broke into the top 25, sitting at 17th.
