OMAHA, Neb. - The UNO Mavericks reached their highest position ever in the weekly hockey rankings, coming in at fourth in both the USCHO.com and USA Today/USA Hockey Division I polls. The previous high water mark for the Mavs was number five during the 2001-02 season.
UNO is also ranked fourth in the latest power rankings compiled by InsideCollegeHockey.com, a move up of seven places from last week's rankings.
The Mavericks also received two first-place votes in the USCHO.com poll and one first-place vote in the USA Today poll. It's the second straight week they've gotten first-place votes in the USCHO.com poll and the first in the USA Today poll.
