Denver drops two places after earning only one point in North Dakota, while Minnesota retakes the top spot after taking three points from Colorado College. North Dakota also moved up one spot to second and had 3 of the first place votes. The only other change in the poll this week was Minnesota State moving up to sixth place after sweeping Alaska Anchorage, jumping over Colorado College. Eleven teams will be in action this weekend including a non-conference series between Wisconsin and Alabama Huntsville. Minnesota has the weekend off.
