Highest Rank: 1
The D1 Flames are staying put at #2 this weekend after a road sweep up at Syracuse. Their D2 counterparts pitched two shutouts, while the D1 squad didn’t necessarily struggle in the two wins, but gave up 8 goals on the weekend, something i’m sure the defensive coaching staff isn’t overly pleased with.

Previous Rank: 6
Rank Change: ▲ 3
Highest Rank: 3
YO Cards, welcome to the top 5… and welcome to your highest ranking of the season, and it’s well deserved. Like we mentioned on the pod, tough to argue a 10-1-0-1 record, especially after a three game weekend that saw them roll their opponents en route to a DVCHC East Coast Showdown championship.

Previous Rank: 3
Rank Change: ▼ 1
Highest Rank: 3
George Washington drops a spot this week but not due to their play, I just had to give hella respect to CUA for the championship weekend. It was a weekend sweep as they would take down rival Georgetown despite getting out shot, then won a close one vs Drexel with a late game winning tuck by Yerkovich, who also was just named ACCHL D2 Player of the Week. Congrats!
Weekend Results: FRI @ Georgetown 6-2 W, SAT vs Drexel 3-2 W
