college hockey polls

GRAND FORKS, N.D. – The University of North Dakota, with just two losses in its last 15 games, enjoyed substantial gains in both national polls this week following a home sweep of Miami.

UND was ranked 11th in both polls this week after previously being ranked 17th in the USCHO rankings and unranked in the USA Today/USA Hockey Magazine poll. It was UND's first appearance in the latter in three months.

Top-ranked Boston College remained the No. 1 team in both polls, followed by No. 2 Minnesota, No. 3 Union and No. 4 St. Cloud State.

UND's next opponent, Minnesota Duluth, was ranked 20th in the USCHO poll and received votes in the USA Today poll. The two teams square off Friday and Saturday at UMD's AMSOIL Arena.
