USCHO.com\/CSTV Division I men’s poll<\/a> Monday, but by a narrower margin. The Wolverines, fresh off a Friday loss and a Saturday win against Michigan State, earned 35 of 50 first-place votes to stay at No. 1 for the third straight week.<\/p>\nIn second once again was North Dakota, which swept Bemidji State to run its nation-best unbeaten streak to 13 games. The Fighting Sioux picked up 10 first-place votes this week, with No. 3 New Hampshire getting the remaining five nods after sweeping Boston College to lock up the regular-season title in Hockey East. The Wildcats extended their own unbeaten skein to nine games, second nationally behind UND.<\/p>\n
Continuing the inertia at the top of the poll, Colorado College came in fourth once more; the Tigers shut out Minnesota-Duluth twice over the weekend. Fifth went to Miami again after the RedHawks swept Western Michigan, and Michigan State held its position at No. 6.<\/p>\n
Denver and BC exchanged places, with the Pioneers moving up to seventh with two wins over Alaska-Anchorage, dropping the Eagles to No. 8.<\/p>\n
Minnesota State joined the top 10 this week, coming in ninth after a bye week as teams slipped below the idle Mavericks in the rankings. Clarkson rebounded into the top half of the poll as well, at No. 10 thanks to a three-point weekend versus Union and Rensselaer.<\/p>\n
Notre Dame fell to No. 11 with a loss and a tie against Ohio State, while St. Cloud State cruised up four notches to 12th by sweeping Michigan Tech.<\/p>\n
Wisconsin fell three places to No. 13 in the wake of a one-point weekend at Minnesota, while Princeton moved up three positions to 14th by beating Colgate and Cornell. Following the Tigers was Minnesota-Duluth at No. 15.<\/p>\n
BU rejoined the rankings in 16th, running the nation’s longest winning streak to six games with a sweep of Northeastern, followed by Minnesota, which also came back to the top 20 at No. 17.<\/p>\n
Northeastern slipped four spots to 18th and Providence — which had been tied with the Huskies for 14th last week — fell five spots after losing twice to Merrimack. Rounding out the poll was Harvard, which re-entered the top 20 with wins over Yale and Brown.<\/p>\n
Dropping out since last Monday were Massachusetts-Lowell, Quinnipiac and Niagara.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
