GRAND FORKS, N.D. – After having played seven of its first eight games away from home, the University of North Dakota will return home this weekend ranked No. 1 in the latest national men's hockey polls that were released on Monday afternoon.
UND (6-0-2, 2-0-0-0 NCHC) opened National Collegiate Hockey Conference play last weekend with a sweep at Colorado College, winning 5-2 on Friday and 2-0 on Saturday. The sweep enabled UND to maintain the top spot in the USCHO.com poll, while climbing from No. 2 to No. 1 in the USA Today/USA Hockey Magazine poll. Omaha, which was ranked No. 8 this week, previously topped the USA Today poll.
UND will open a new month on Friday and Saturday when it hosts former WCHA rival Wisconsin. The series is the first of four straight home games for UND.
