Coming off a weekend road split at Bowling Green -- those games were UAF's first Outside matches of the season -- the Nanooks (7-2-1) dropped one spot in a pair of national polls to come in today at No. 10.

UAF received that ranking in the USCHO.com poll and the USA Today/USA Hockey Magazine Poll.

Miami (Ohio) remained No. 1. North Dakota is No. 2 and Denver No. 3.

On the UAA (4-8-0) front, it has faced four teams currently ranked -- NoDak, DU, Wisconsin (No. 15) and Michigan (No. 16/15). The Seawolves, coming off two road losses at Wisconsin and entertaining Minnesota State-Mankato this weekend, are 2-5-0 against ranked teams -- 1-1 vs. both Denver and North Dakota, 0-2 vs. Wisconsin and 0-1 vs. Michigan.
