GRAND FORKS, N.D. -- The University of North Dakota is ranked No. 6 in the latest USCHO.com and USA Today/USA Hockey Magazine polls, both of which were released today.

UND maintained its No. 6 ranking after a WCHA road split last weekend at Denver. UND won 6-1 on Saturday after being edged 4-3 on Saturday. The top six spots in both spots remained unchanged, with Quinnipiac once again claiming the top spot. Minnesota, Miami, Boston College and New Hampshire rounded out the top five in both.

UND (17-6-6, 12-6-6 WCHA) hosts Bemidji State on Friday and Saturday in its final home series of the regular season.
