Last week Bowdoin fell from the United States College Hockey Online (USCHO)poll and this week the Polar Bears (1-2-1) dropped from D3Hockey.com (D3H)'s rankings as well to become completely un-ranked for the first time in almost two years. Amherst, the only 4-0-0 team in the NESCAC, made the biggest move in the polls by a 'Cac team. In USCHO, the Lord Jeffs moved from 13th to tenth; in D3H, they went from un-ranked to a poll debut at number 11 this week.
Williams (3-0-1) is the highest ranked NESCAC team in D3H at ninth (one spot bump from last week), while they stay at 12th in the USCHO poll. Middlebury (3-0-1) went from unranked to fifteenth in USCHO and from 11th to tenth in D3H. Trinity (3-1-0) received two points in both polls.
Outside of the NESCAC, the biggest movement came from defending national champions Wisconsin-Eau Claire. The Blugolds (1st in USCHO 2nd in D3H) faced off against St. Norbert (2nd in USCHO, 1st in D3H) on Friday and the Green Knights emerged with a 5-2 victory and a unanimous top ranking. UWE fell to fourth in USCHO and fifth in D3H. Hobart departed from the rankings after tying and losing to eighth ranked Utica. Umass-Boston also fell from the rankings after a pair of ties against Castelton State and Skidmore.
