Rand Pecknold’s squad added two more conference wins to their record book this past weekend against Harvard and Dartmouth. The Bobcats are the only team in the NCAA Division I without a loss or tie. The 10-0-0 record is the best start in the program’s D-I history.
Providence College remains No. 1 for the second week in a row despite not winning a game since October 31 against Colgate. The Friars posted two ties against the Boston University Terriers in a home and home series. Boston College remained No. 2 and received two more first place votes than Quinnipiac. The Eagles beat the Michigan State Spartans 6-4 over the weekend.
Harvard is the only other ECAC team still in the top ten. The Crimson dropped one spot to No. 8. Yale dropped to No. 11 following a 3-2 overtime loss to Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.
