Oswego State Still N0. 10 in Latest USCHO Poll

A narrow home win over Hamilton wasn't enough to push the Oswego State men's ice hockey team up the USCHO.com division three national poll. The Lakers remain the No. 10 team in the nation, but picked up four voter points and are no longer tied with Hamline. The Pipers fell to No. 12 after going winless in a two-game weekend home stand.

Defending SUNYAC champion Plattsburgh is still the top-ranked team in the country, garnering 15 of a possible 20 first-place votes. The Cardinals are the lone remaining unbeaten team in the NCAA at 12-0-2. Geneseo fell from the top 15 after suffering a 3-2 loss at the Utica Auditorium, leaving arch-rivals Oswego State and Plattsburgh as the only ranked SUNYAC members.
