NORTHFIELD, Minn. – The St. Olaf College men's hockey team received votes in both the USCHO Division III Men's Poll and the D-III Hockey News Men's Poll, as released on Monday.
Coming off a weekend split with nationally-ranked St. Norbert College, St. Olaf (3-1-0) sat just outside the top 15 in both national polls this week. The Oles received 18 points in the USCHO balloting and 10 in the D-III Hockey News balloting.
Over the weekend, St. Olaf bounced back from a 4-2 loss to No. 4/5 St. Norbert on Friday night with a 3-2 victory on Saturday. The win marked the second season in a row that the Oles topped a St. Norbert team ranked in the top five nationally.
Through two weekends of games, St. Olaf currently ranks sixth in NCAA Division III in power-play percentage (.417), 10th in points (43), 11th in assists (26), and 13th in goals per game (4.25).
The Oles will head to UW-Stevens Point for two games this weekend, opening with a 7 p.m. puck drop on Friday, Nov. 13 at K.B. Willett Arena.
