the USCHO.com Division III Men’s Poll<\/a> over the last two weeks to a unanimous selection as the nation’s No. 1 team this weekend. The Cadets trounced Amherst 7-4 on Friday before escaping from Hamilton with a 2-1 win, which combined with a loss by last week’s No. 2 team, Wis.-River Falls, led voters to award all 15 first-place votes to Norwich.<\/p>\nSt. Norbert used a convincing weekend, outscoring opponents 15-3 in two games, to climb two spots to No. 2. St. Norbert held first place three weeks ago.<\/p>\n
Despite winning two games over the last week, dropping a 5-2 decision to No. 6 St. Thomas was enough to move Wis.-River Falls down to a distant No. 3 team. Challenging the Falcons for that spot is No. 4 Bowdoin, which improved to a perfect 6-0-0 with three wins in five days. Bowdoin trails Wis.-River Falls by just one point.<\/p>\n
No. 7 Manhattanville made great strides this week, delivering a 7-2 blow to No. 5 RIT. It was the first loss of the season for the Tigers. The win moved the Valiants into first place in league standings in the ECAC West.<\/p>\n
The biggest surprise this week was turned in by Fredonia, which kept its spot at the top of the SUNYAC standings by defeating No. 9 Plattsburgh as well as previously ranked Potsdam. The Blue Devils improved to 7-0-0 in conference play, but is just 2-3-0 in outside the league.<\/p>\n
While there are a number of games taking place next weekend, only one is taking place between two ranked teams, as No. 2 Wis.-River Falls tries to get back on track when it hosts No. 10 St. John’s. <\/p>\n
