No. 1 in this week’s USCHO.com Division III Men’s Poll<\/a>, for the sixth consecutive week, is St. Norbert. The Green Knights won the NCHA postseason tournament title with a 5-2 defeat of No. 5 Wis.-Superior, and thus became the first team to earn a pass to the NCAA Division III Tournament. To reach the final, St. Norbert downed Wis.-Stevens Point by a 3-1 score. St. Norbert is also No. 1 in the USCHO.com West Regional Pairwise Rankings (PWR)<\/a>, a measurement of NCAA selection likelihood. Wis.-Superior met the Green Knights due to a 6-3 victory over No. 7 Wis.-River Falls in the semifinal.<\/p>\n

Most leagues saw the beginning of tournament play. In the NESCAC quarterfinals, No. 2 Middlebury trounced Tufts, No. 10 Colby shutout Amherst 8-0, and No. 11 Trinity squeaked past Williams 3-2. Middlebury stands at No. 4 in the East Regional PWR<\/a>.<\/p>\n

No. 3 Norwich defeated Mass.-Boston 12-0 in the ECAC East tournament quarterfinals, and No. 9 New England College stopped Southern Maine 8-1.<\/p>\n

In the MIAC, No. 8 St. John’s outlasted No. 15 St. Thomas 4-3 in the championship game, after first vanquishing Gustavus Adolphus 4-2 in one semifinal. The other saw the Tommies edge Augsburg 7-6. St. John’s earns the MIAC automatic berth in the NCAA tournament with the win.<\/p>\n

Oswego finsihed No. 6 after passing Potsdam in two games to advance to the finals. The other final competitor is No. 12 Plattsburgh, which ended Fredonia’s dream season in two games.<\/p>\n

New to the poll this week is No. 14 Wentworth, which got the ECAC Northeast quarterfinals started in style with a 1-0 defeat of Worcester State. Wentworth has a 19-4-3 record, and is currently No. 7 in the East Regional PWR.<\/p>\n

Finally, finishing up regular season play this week were members of the ECAC West. In particular, No. 4 RIT defeated Hobart to wrap up the ECAC West title, and No. 12 Manhattanville downed Utica 3-2 in overtime before falling to Elmira 5-4.<\/p>\n

Next week, playoffs continue in the ECAC East, NESCAC and SUNYAC, and the ECAC West gets underway.<\/p>\n

The USCHO.com Poll is compiled by U.S. College Hockey Online, and consists of 15 voters, including coaches and beat writers from across the country.<\/p>\n

The East and West Region Pairwise Rankings attempt to mimic the process used by the NCAA Division III Selection Committee to determine participants for the men’s hockey tournament. A team is only compared against Division III teams within that team’s region.<\/p>\n

The PWR can be reformatted and redistributed by any media outlet or person, provided USCHO’s URL (http:\/\/www.uscho.com\/) accompanies the results.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
