Coming off a huge weekend in Mankato, UNO Hockey has achieved a new milestone in program history. UNO is ranked #3 in the USCHO weekly men's hockey poll, and #4 in the USA Today/USA Hockey Magazine poll.
There are two national polls that rank men's Division 1 college hockey teams. Both polls are released mid-morning on Mondays during the season.
UNO finished last season (2014-15) ranked #4 in the USCHO poll, after losing in the semifinal game in the Frozen Four to eventual champion Providence.
Here's the news release from UNO:
OMAHA, Neb. – The Omaha hockey team earned its highest ranking in school history, coming in third in the latest poll from USCHO.com.
The Mavericks also were ranked fourth in the USA Today/USA Hockey Magazine poll. Both rankings were released on Monday.
UNO moved up seven spots in both polls and earned eight first-place votes in the USCHO.com poll, also an all-time high. They earned one first-place vote in the USA Today poll.
The Mavericks are coming off a sweep at then No. 6/9 Minnesota State last weekend, winning 3-2 and 2-0. It is their first 2-0-0 start since the 2010-11 season.
UNO is one of six NCHC teams in the USCHO.com top-20 poll. North Dakota took over the top spot, followed by UNO, Denver (5), Minnesota Duluth (7), St. Cloud State (12) and Miami (18). UND (1), UMD (7), Denver (8) and St. Cloud State (12) also appear in the USA Today poll.
