North Dakota is the new No. 1 team in the most recent USCHO.com NCAA Division I men's ice hockey national poll, thanks to Michigan State.
The Spartans took down last week's No. 1 team, Wisconsin, by 4-2 and 3-2 scores in Big Ten play at Munn Ice Arena in East Lansing, Mich. last weekend, and became the first team in the nation to reach double digits in wins. MSU is now 10-3-1 overall, and in first place in the Big Ten at 5-0-1, with a two-game trip to conference opponent Minnesota coming up. Wisconsin fell to sixth in the poll, while MSU ascended to seventh.
North Dakota (9-2-1 overall) took over the top spot in the poll after sweeping NCHC rival Miami last week, while Boston College moved up into the second spot after sweeping Hockey East foe UConn. Defending national champion Quinnipiac (9-3-1) is third overall, but may tumble from that position in next week's poll after a 3-2 loss at No. 5 Boston University (9-3-1) tonight.
