If ever there was a week for a titanic shift in the D-III poll, this was it.<\/p>\n
But after the top two teams in the nation — including the previously unbeaten Plattsburgh Cardinals — fell victim to upsets, the world of Division III felt only minor tremors.<\/p>\n
Now 12-1-2 on the season, Plattsburgh remained at No. 1, receiving 13 of a possible 20 first place votes, despite losing to Skidmore on the road, 5-3.<\/p>\n
St. Scholastica, now winners of 10 straight games, ascended to second (and received four top tallies) after besting Northland, 6-1, and dominating then-second ranked University of Wisconsin-Superior, 7-2.<\/p>\n
With the Yellowjackets now third, St. Norbert actually fell down a rung, despite a convincing 9-0 whitewashing of Lake Forest. As a consolation prize, the Green Knights did receive the three remaining first place votes. <\/p>\n
Despite combining for a 10-0-1 record (and outscoring their opponents by a healthy 75-21 margin), teams five through nine — Middlebury, Elmira, UW-Stout, Adrian, Hobart — remained unchanged. <\/p>\n
Switching places for No. 10 and 11 were Oswego and Manhattanville, with the idle Lakers losing ground after the Valiants road sweep of Fredonia.<\/p>\n
The Norwich Cadets were one of the week’s big movers, ascending two spots to No. 12 after defeating Babson, 5-2, and edging the University of Massachusetts-Boston 3-2 in overtime.<\/p>\n
After tying in-state rival UW-Eau-Claire, Stevens Point remained at No. 13. Hamline, who split a home-and-home series with St. Olaf, fell two spots to No. 14. <\/p>\n
Moving into the top 15 this week were the Curry Colonels, who registered impressive wins on the road (5-4 over Utica in OT) and at home (10-3 triumph over ECAC Northeast member Franklin Pierce).<\/p>\n
New England College, losers to Plymouth State (in overtime) and Trinity before eking by Wesleyan, fell out of the national poll.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
