Boston
College keeps rolling
along, but not necessarily in the national rankings. The Eagles took second
place in this week's NCAA Division I men's and women's poll at USCHO.com.
The BC men's team won all three games it played last week,
defeating UMass and sweeping Maine
while outscoring their opponents, 12-0. The Eagles (8-1-0 overall) still took
second place in this week's poll to defending national champion Providence (6-0-1), which
was idle last week. The BC women's team sports a nation-best 11-0-0 overall
mark, but still finished runner-up this week to Wisconsin (10-0-0).
Championships aren't won in November, though—and every year,
in the final poll of the season, the new national champion automatically rises
from whatever previous spot it occupied to the top of the ranks.
The BC men, who are 3-0-0 in Hockey East play so far this season,
return to action on Friday when they host Michigan State
at Conte Forum in the sole outing for both teams this weekend. The Eagles edged
the Spartans, 3-2, last season in East
Lansing.
The BC women (5-0-0 Hockey East) get back to business
tonight at home against Boston
University, three days
after pasting the Terriers, 8-1, at Walter Brown Arena. The Eagles will then
host New Hampshire
on Friday.
