Speaking of the Cadets, a defeat of New England College and a shutout of St.
Anselm pushed their mark to 12-0-3, remaining the only undefeated team in Division III hockey.
Moving up to third was Plattsburgh while Elmira (rising up two spots after dominating both Potsdam and Cortland) and St. Norbert (falling one position) are now tied for fourth.
The Middlebury Panthers are now ranked sixth.
St. Scholastica had a rough week, clobbering Northland 13-1 before getting shutout by the University of Wisconsin-River Falls, 5-0, before responding and skating to a 5-5 tie with the Falcons. They fell two spots to seventh.
Hamline (home-and-home sweep of Bethel) and Amherst (a 2-0-1 week) remained in the same spots.
The Gusties from Gustavus Adolphus also continued to surge, sweeping Augsburg and moving up to two rungs on the D-III ladder.

Wentworth and Manhattanville each bumped up a spot to Nos. 13 and 14, though the Valiants were idle last week.
