A weekend series split against Michigan State didn’t hurt the Miami University hockey team in the national rankings.
Despite their first loss of the season — a 3-2 overtime setback to the visiting Spartans on Saturday, Oct. 24 — the RedHawks retained their No. 1 spot in the U.S. College Hockey Online (USCHO.com) and USA Today/USA Hockey Magazine polls released Monday, Oct. 26.
Miami (4-1-1) received 26 of 48 first-place votes in the USCHO.com poll and 22 of 33 first-place votes in the USA Today/USA Hockey Magazine poll.
In the USCHO.com rankings, Denver (4-2-0) is No. 2, followed by North Dakota (4-1-1), Boston University (1-2-0) and Michigan (2-2-0).
In the USA Today/USA Hockey Magazine rankings, North Dakota is No. 2, followed by Denver, Boston U. and Michigan.
The RedHawks return to the ice Friday and Saturday for a two-game Central College Hockey Association series at Northern Michigan. Miami travels to Michigan on Nov. 6-7, and returns home to Steve Cady Arena on Nov. 13-14 to face Ferris State.
