Mavs stand pat at No. 3

Minnesota State remained No. 3 in the latest USCHO poll this week. Some might have thought the Mavericks would rise a spot, but it's hard to drop previous No. 1 Minnesota Duluth down too far after its split at Denver. St. Cloud State is still No. 1.

As for other WCHA teams, Bowling Green fell two spots to No. 12 after its home split against Lake Superior State, while the Lakers, thanks to that outcome, are now in the top 20 at No. 20. Bemidji State and Michigan Tech are receiving votes.

Update: the Mavericks also stayed third in the USA Today/USA Hockey rankings.
