PROVO, Utah – After winning its fifth game over a Power 5 opponent in the non-conference season, BYU women's basketball moved up one spot to No. 19 in the Associated Press Top 25 on Monday.

The Cougars (9-1) are coming off a 71-53 win over Washington State at the Marriott Center last Saturday. The team also has wins over Pac-12 schools Arizona State and Utah, along with No. 17 Florida State from the ACC and No. 22 West Virginia from the Big 12. 

BYU is ranked for the fourth consecutive week, matching 2007's mark and short of 2006's school record of nine weeks in a row, including a final ranking of No. 22. 

This week the Cougars finish their non-conference schedule at Montana State Tuesday night at 7 p.m. The game will broadcast on ESPN+.
