Division I ... The University of Minnesota men returned to the national rankings thanks to their third place finish at the Big Ten Championships last weekend. The Gophers rejoned the poll, HERE, at #29.

The Gopher women dropped two spots to #17 in the women's rankings after their own third place finish at Big Tens. You can find the complete women's poll HERE.

Division II ... The University of Minnesota - Duluth women's team finds itself in the #13 position in the D2 poll, HERE, for the second straight week. The Bulldogs lost a spot in the polls last week after finishing as the runners-up to Augustana at the NSIC meet on October 24.
