After a week at Number-2, UND is back to Number-1 in both national men’s hockey polls.
UND got 33 first-place votes in the U-S College Hockey Online Poll, and 23 first-place votes in the U-S-A Hockey Poll.
Last week’s number-one team, Boston College, is alone in 2nd in the U-S College Hockey Online Poll, ahead of Boston University.
But in the U-S-A Hockey Poll, Boston College and Boston U are tied for 2nd.
Minnesota is 9th in the U-S-A Hockey Poll, and 10th in the U-S College Hockey Online Poll.
UND, which split last weekend’s series at Denver, plays at home this weekend against Colorado College.
