It had to end sometime.<\/p>\n
And with ninth ranked Williams\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 upset of No. 2 Norwich, the Cadets 20 game unbeaten streak — and their status as the lone unblemished team in the nation — was over.<\/p>\n
Coupled with No. 1 Oswego\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s 5-2 victory over Cortland, the Lakers are again the unanimous vote as the nation\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s top squad.<\/p>\n
Teams three through five remained the same, despite some interesting results: No. 3 St. Norbert\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s two ties (against fourth ranked St. Scholastica and the University of Wisconsin-Superior), St. Scholastica\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s deadlock and defeat of UW-Stevens Point, and a road loss by the Plattsburgh Cardinals to then-10th ranked Middlebury (along with a 4-1 win over Morrisville).<\/p>\n
The week\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s biggest mover, Williams, jumped up three spots to sixth after besting both St. Michael\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s and ending Norwich\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s impressive run. The Gusties from Gustavus Adolphus also ascended a spot after a home sweep of Concordia (MN).<\/p>\n
Elmira was not so fortunate. The Soaring Eagles\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 altitude dipped a bit as they dropped a 5-3 decision at home to conference foe Hobart.<\/p>\n
By virtue of their upset of fifth ranked Plattsburgh, Middlebury moved up one rung to ninth while Hamline (in a tie for 10th last week) now has the ranking all to itself after the Pipers sweep of St. John\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s.<\/p>\n
Falling from seventh to No. 11, Amherst suffered the worst fate of the week, after losing to unranked (but now No. 15) Bowdoin and skating to a 2-2 tie with Colby.<\/p>\n
The Adrian Bulldogs, who outscored Lake Forest on the road 13-4, again remained at No. 12.<\/p>\n
Wentworth College used two victories to climb up two rungs to No. 13, while UW-River Falls remained one spot lower.<\/p>\n
Bowdoin\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s two home victories over Amherst and Hamilton elevated the Polar Bears into the top 15, replacing Manhattanville, who only earned only one point in a home series with Neumann.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
