Re: Has your team ever been ranked? (and other D-III poll related lists)
This week's poll is out, and it features all of the wackiness that I was expecting two weeks ago.
So, based on these crazy lists that I've come up with, here are some interesting notes from this weeks poll.
Marian is ranked for the first time in school history. The Sabres are currently 4-1, with wins against UW-Stout, Finlandia, and most importantly, Adrian. Saturday's 5-4 victory snapped the Bulldogs epic MCHA winning streak, dating back to November 30, 2007.
St. Scholastica fell out of the polls for the first time since December 21, 2008; ending a streak of 31 consecutive appearances. The Saints are 2-2, and despite wins against Concordia (MN) and St. Johns; they were hammered twice by UW-Stevens Point.
Speaking of which, UW-Stevens Point is ranked for the first time since February 16, 2009. Despite a season opening loss to Lawrence; the Pointers have been on fire, with two convincing wins against then ranked St. Scholastica, and a dominating performance against Hamline.
UW-Eau Claire received votes for the first time since February 2, 2009. The Blugolds start the season 2-1, with victories over Lawrence and ranked Gustavus Adolphus, and their only loss coming in overtime to Augsburg.
MSOE received votes for the first time since November 9, 2009. The Raiders are off to a 4-0 start, with wins over Northland and Concordia (WI). OK, so those teams are a combined 0-8; undefeated is undefeated, right?
Morrisville received votes for the first time since November 9, 2009. The Mustangs beat Geneseo 3-2, giving the Ice Knights their first loss since getting busted in the student aid package controversy.
Utica received votes for the first time since November 16, 2009. Despite a 6-0 shellacking at the hands of Elmira, the Pioneers are off to a very strong 4-1 start (even if two of those wins were against Franklin Pierce).
Salem State received votes for the first time since January 4, 2010. The Vikings opened the season with an exciting 6-5 win against Wentworth. By the way, the MASCAC now has three votes to the ECAC Northeast's zero.
Finally, the University of New England received votes for the first time in school history, picking up seven votes. That's pretty impressive, considering this will be their second season, they went 3-22 last year, and they start their season on the 19th against #1 Norwich. Seriously, how the hell did the Nor'easters get seven votes?
Got anything I missed? Or maybe you know something about UNE that I don't know? Feel free to tell me.
