UMASS DARTMOUTH MOVES UP TO EIGHTH IN USCHO.COM DIVISION III POLL

MINNEAPOLIS, MN–The University of Massachusetts Dartmouth’s hockey team has gone back up to eighth place in the latest United States College Hockey Online Division III poll.

The Corsairs moved up after falling to ninth last week. They were ranked eighth in each of the previous three weeks, which equals their highest ranking ever.

St. Norbert has taken over first place in the poll from Manhattanville, with Wisconsin-River Falls, Oswego State and Wisconsin-Stout next. Neumann is sixth and Norwich has moved up to seventh. The Corsairs are followed by Wisconsin-Superior and Bowdoin in the top ten. Castleton State, Middlebury, Hobart, Skidmore and New England College complete the top 15.

UMass Dartmouth, which is 42-3-1 during its past 46 games, is 21-2-1 overall and 13-1-0 in conference play this season. The Corsairs will return to action when they host Nichols Tuesday evening in the final home game of the regular season.
