Minnesota swept Michigan over the weekend, propelling the Gophers from No. 8 in the Pairwise entering the weekend to No. 2. Elsewhere, Dartmouth suffered a big fall after it was swept by St. Lawrence and Clarkson.

Our weekly look at the Pairwise leads off this issue. We’re tracking weekly movement until the NCAA Tournament field is announced in March.

Today’s issue (#501) also includes:

• St. Cloud State will be without goalie Isak Posch for an extended period due to an injury, and North Dakota survives key injuries to sweep Miami.

• AIC and Holy Cross couldn’t play on Saturday because AIC didn’t have any healthy goalies.

• The OHL is considering Youngstown (USHL) and Muskegon (USHL) for expansion.

• We have a goalie fight!

• Our weekly look at the inter-conference records of each conference.

• We have some fun and put together a meaningless bracketology for people to get excited (or upset) about.
