After being voted first in the nation last week, Boston College made a statement that it deserved the ranking, remaining undefeated with a convincing 6-1 victory over No. 14 Providence last Tuesday, and a taut 3-2 win over cross-town rival Boston University on Friday. The Eagles captured 37 of 40 first-place votes and 596 points total to finish in first in this week’s USCHO.com Division I Men’s Poll<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Things don’t get easier for BC, however, as the nation’s No. 2 team and the only other team to get first-place votes, New Hampshire, invades Conte Forum for a Tuesday evening game. It is the first time this season that there has been a Number 1 vs. Number 2 meeting. New Hampshire is coming off a 3-0 win over Providence. After visiting the No. 1 Eagles on Tuesday, the Wildcats hit the road again, traveling to Orono to visit No. 7 Maine. <\/p>\n

Maine had a big weekend, trouncing pesky Northeastern 8-2 on Friday before thumping No. 11 Boston University 7-3 the next night. Freshman phenom Jimmy Howard, in goal for the Black Bears, improved to 6-1-0 overall, with an impressive 1.39 goals against average and a 0.943 save percentage.<\/p>\n

Outside of Hockey East, the big news was the weekend match-up between defending national-title winner and current No. 9 Minnesota and head coach Don Lucia’s former team, No. 6 Colorado College. The Tigers took a commanding win, 7-3, on Friday before settling for a 2-2 tie on Saturday for the three-point weekend. CC improved to 9-1-2 on the season and climbed two spots from last week. <\/p>\n

Two teams reappear in this week’s ranking. <\/p>\n

At No. 13 is Ohio State, now at 8-2-1 with a two-game sweep of CCHA powerhouse Michigan State. The Buckeyes were last in the poll at No. 15 on October 7th, before a 7-2 loss to Minnesota in the Hall of Fame Game knocked them into the “receiving votes” category.<\/p>\n

Harvard also shows up in the poll again this week at No. 15. Harvard won two ECAC road games in the North Country, winning big with a 6-1 decision over St. Lawrence and squeaking past a troubled Clarkson squad 2-1. On October 28th the Crimson were also No. 15, before they had played any games on the season.<\/p>\n

Key games coming up, besides the 1-2 BC-New Hampshire and 2-7 New Hampshire-Maine games already mentioned, include a CCHA battle between No. 13 Ohio State and No. 12 Ferris State and ECAC showdown between No. 8 Cornell and No. 15 Harvard.<\/p>\n

The USCHO.com Poll is compiled by U.S. College Hockey Online, and consists of 40 voters, including 28 coaches from the Division I conferences and 12 beat writers from across the country. The poll is published weekly by the Associated Press.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
