Sorry, but in my opinion, until a western team actually defeats an eastern team in ameaningful contest, they don't deserve to be in the top six.
In the past four years, the west has struggled against TOP RANKED eastern teams. East still rules DIII women's hockey. West is still the pretender.

I do seem to recall two western teams beating the National Champs last year...but those games didn't really count because Amherst wasn't accustomed to jv level of play in the west.

looks like plummer must be a good coach because in the end he has his team prepared for a national championship they loose in the beginning and coach them to win in the end
I am not a amhurst fan
Plumer is great coach. Tireless work ethic, extremely talented when it comes to recruiting, and very cerebral. He'll keep the Amherst program in good stead.
Interesting game coming up -- Norwich vs. New England College. Two "second ten" teams, both undefeated. Winner should crack the top ten. NU was "up and coming" last year. NEC is very young with 1st and 2nd year players carrying the load.

13 voted in this poll and the last poll.
According to USCHO Holy Cross is not a DIII team and so I have not included them. They wouldn't have made the top 10 either way.
From the looks of last week's poll, I'm not sure if anyone can be bumped out of the top 10 for Norwich with the results so far this weekend. Unless more Cadet fans start voting in the poll...
Stevens point will drop out with their loss to St Olaf i'm sure..but there is still 10 teams..i'll probably vote for Norwich over Mville
I just saw the Lake Forest / St. Mary's game. IMHO, Lake Forest will win many games this season. They have a highly skilled team with many new recruits adding some quickness to their play. Their PP is very formidable and they use a pressing style of forecheck to create many opportunities.
Carissa Zaban is a great coach and I really expect them to be ranked in the top ten, before too long.
maybe just don't want to fuel the flamefest just yet...don't worry...i'll start calling Neumann overrated and telling you eastern folks how it is soon enough
