A three-point weekend against Wisconsin was enough to move defending NCAA champion Denver into the top spot in this week’s USCHO.com\/CSTV Division I men’s poll Monday.<\/p>\n
The Pioneers took over No. 1 for the first time this season in the wake of a win and a tie against the Badgers, leapfrogging new No. 2 Boston College and now third-ranked Colorado College to take over the summit position.<\/p>\n
Since last week’s poll, the Eagles lost to Boston University in last Monday’s Beanpot semifinal, then beat Merrimack Friday. The Tigers split with WCHA opponent St. Cloud State.<\/p>\n
Fourth place belonged to Cornell, which beat Yale and Princeton and continued to rise in the rankings amidst a 10-game unbeaten streak — one better than the Pioneers’ run of nine without a loss. No. 5 was Michigan, which swept Nebraska-Omaha over the weekend.<\/p>\n
Wisconsin fell to sixth after its weekend at Denver, and Ohio State stayed No. 7 after sweeping Bowling Green. New Hampshire was eighth in the wake of a home-and-home sweep of Massachusetts.<\/p>\n
Harvard moved up to No. 9 after losing to Northeastern in the Beanpot, then beating Rensselaer. No. 10 was Minnesota, which managed only a loss and a tie hosting Alaska-Anchorage.<\/p>\n
BU stood at No. 11, up two spots, after beating BC and Providence, while Colgate tied Yale and beat Princeton to stay at No. 12.<\/p>\n
Massachusetts-Lowell, which lost to Northeastern and beat Providence, was No. 13, and Maine and North Dakota, both idle last week, rounded out the poll.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
