Dutchmen rise again in polls

by Ryan Fay

Union rose again in college hockey polls released Monday.

After weekend wins at home over Princeton and formerly fifth-ranked Quinnipiac, Union rose one spot to a season-high 10th in the USCHO top 20 poll.

The climb was even higher in the USA Today/USA Hockey Magazine top 15 poll. The Dutchmen went up five spots to a season-high ninth.

Union returns to action Wednesday against Dartmouth at Messa Rink before a two-game series at St. Cloud State Dec 13-14.

The Huskies, which picked up a road sweep at then 20th-ranked Minnesota-Duluth over the weekend, were the new top-ranked team in the USCHO poll with 33 of 50 first-place votes.

They remained second in the USA Today/USA Hockey Magazine poll, but collected 16 of 34 first place votes.
