Hockey Polls

The University of North Dakota will head into the final weekend of the regular season ranked No. 5 in both the USCHO.com and USA Today/USA Hockey Magazinemen’s hockey polls released on Monday.

North Dakota climbed one spot in both polls after taking three of four Western Collegiate Hockey Association (WCHA) points from Bemidji State last weekend in Grand Forks. UND, which defeated BSU 4-2 on Friday and skated to a 2-2 overtime tie on Saturday, has lost just once in the last nine games (5-1-3).
