Mavericks ranked 2nd, earn WCHA honors

Minnesota State moved up to No. 2 in the USCHO rankings on Monday following their second straight road sweep. The Mavericks are now 7-1-1 after beating Lake Superior State twice and are, believe it or not, No. 1 in the Pairwise, which is likely pretty volatile, considering COVID cancelations and postponements that have caused quite a variation in the number of games played. Enjoy it while you can, MSU fans, and we'll wait to see how this year's NCAA tournament field will actually be determined.

Meantime, Minnesota State had two players receive WCHA honors, as sophomore forward and Mavericks leading scorer Cade Borchardt was named Forward of the Week, and junior superstar goalie Dryden McKay was named Goaltender of the Week for the second time this year. It was McKay's 16 WCHA weekly award.

Minnesota State is scheduled to host Ferris State this weekend.
