The Terriers (7-1-5, 4-1-4) received one first-place vote in the USCHO.com rankings to keep University of Minnesota-Duluth from taking the top spot in both polls unanimously. Yale University, which had defeated Sacred Heart 5-1 last Tuesday, leapfrogged BU into the second spot of the USA Today/USA Hockey poll. University of Nebraska-Omaha and University of New Hampshire rounded out the top five respectively in both.
