St. Norbert recaptured the top spot in this week’s USCHO.com Division III Men’s Poll<\/a>, becoming the No. 1 team for the first time since November 18, 2002. The Green Knights won two games, over St. Scholastica 7-2, and over No. 6 Wis.-Superior 4-3, improving to 18-1-2 on the season. St. Norbert is also first in the Division III Men’s West Region Pairwise Rankings (PWR)<\/a>, a model of the NCAA’s Division III selection process.<\/p>\n

Slipping to No. 2 in the poll is Norwich, following a 5-3 loss to No. 9 Trinity. The Cadets still hold the top spot in the Division III Men’s East Region PWR<\/a>, as well as enjoying a commanding six point lead in the ECAC East. Norwich finished just four points behind St. Norbert, capturing six of the 15 first-place votes.<\/p>\n

The biggest mover this week is No. 5 Oswego, which moved up five spaces from last on the strength of a two game sweep over No. 7 RIT. The Tigers plummeted three spots as a result. The Great Lakers passed RIT in the East PWR as well, moving up to No. 4.<\/p>\n

With a shocking 10-1 win over No. 15 Manhattanville, Elmira leapt into the poll at No. 11, sporting a 11-4-1 record. The Soaring Eagles now stands at No. 2 in the PWR East.<\/p>\n

In tight voting, three teams finished within one point of each other, as No. 8 Bowdoin had 106 points, and Plattsburgh and Trinity totaled 105 points and landed at No. 9. Bowdoin fell one spot after a tie with unranked Connecticut College, Plattsburgh held steady at No. 9 with a 5-3 win over No. 14 Colby, and Trinity moved up from No. 15 following the win over former No. 1 Norwich.<\/p>\n

Key games coming up include Tuesday’s battle between No. 4 Middlebury and No. 9 Plattsburgh, which is a rematch of the championship game of the Primelink Shootout won 6-1 by Plattsburgh.<\/p>\n

In the NCHA, No. 3 Wis.-River Falls meets No. 6 Wis.-Superior on Friday, while conference play gets underway in the SUNYAC second-half, as new No. 5 Oswego hosts Fredonia, which is undefeated in league play and won a 3-2 meeting back of the two teams back in early November. After losing three straight games to teams from the ECAC West, the Blue Devils failed to get a single vote in this week’s poll.<\/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
