College Hockey rankings 2012: Miami drops to No. 5 after Lake Superior split

Stay connected for news and updates

The Miami Redhawks could have been expected to sweep the Lake Superior Lakers, but they split the series, and in turn fell to No. 5 in the USCHO Rankings. Boston College retook the No. 1 spot from New Hampshire after one week in second.

The Miami RedHawks dropped out of the top three of the USCHO Rankings this weekend with a loss to a sub-.500 Lake Superior team, snapping a major streak for Miami.

Miami had won eight straight with their only loss in the last ten games coming to now-No. 19 Ferris State. The Redhawks seemed prepped to sweep the Lakers after a 3-2 win on Friday, but they were shut out for only the second time all season in a 1-0 home loss, their first defeat in Oxford all season. After the loss, Miami dropped to No. 5 in the rankings.

There were also shakeups in the rest of the top of the rankings, with Boston College reclaiming their top spot despite only getting a tie against Providence. They rose with a loss by No. 1 New Hampshire to Boston University, who had knocked BC out of the top spot themselves by splitting a series with the Eagles. New Hampshire dropped to No. 2, with Notre Dame the top CCHA squad in the poll. Minnesota rounds out the top 5 in the No. 4 slot.

Ohio State was one of six schools also receiving votes.
