It should come as no surprise that the undefeated Minnesota squad that captured the Division I women’s national championship also finishes out the year where it started – and sat all year long – atop the USCHO.com Division I Women’s Poll.
Yet again, the Gophers received all 15 first-place votes in the final poll of the season.
National runner-up Boston University moves up one notch to finish second, while Boston College went to the Frozen Four and rises one to sit third this week. Cornell drops two to No. 4 and Frozen Four entrant Mercyhurst leaps three to No. 5.
North Dakota finishes sixth, Harvard seventh, Clarkson eighth, Wisconsin ninth and Northeastern rounds out the poll this week coming in at No. 10.
The USCHO.com Division I Women’s Poll is compiled weekly and consists of 15 voters, including 14 coaches of Division I programs and one women’s hockey writer.
