Despite suffering a pair of one-goal losses last weekend at Denver, UND fell just two spots from its previous ranking. On Friday, the Sioux will host unranked Ohio State, while No. 1 Miami will face No. 6 Bemidji State earlier that afternoon at Ralph Engelstad Arena. On Saturday, the Sioux will square off with the top-ranked Redhawks and BSU will meet OSU.

Denver is the new No. 2 in both polls after last weekend's sweep of the Sioux. Massachusetts-Lowell is ranked No. 3 in both polls.
