The No. 1 spot in the D3hoops.com Top 25 was thrown for another loop tonight as No. 2 Rochester got blown out at Washington U. 57-36.

The Yellowjackets shot just 20.8% from the floor and made just 11 baskets on the night as they fell to 14-1, 3-1 in the UAA. Wash U (11-4) ended the first half on a 9-0 run, getting 13 points from guard Jill Brandt and 12 from Rebecca Parker in the victory.

Although Rochester could salvage its weekend with a win at No. 11 Chicago, the loss opens the door for a significantly split decision at the top of the poll. Other top candidates include No. 3 Scranton (14-1) hosting 13-3 DeSales, while Hope (15-1) is at Albion (9-7). No. 1 Bowdoin, which lost to unbeaten Maine Maritime on Wednesday night, destroyed Connecticut College 81-28 tonight and plays Wesleyan tomorrow (10-3).
