At 4-0-1, Union is earning some pretty good support.

[Keith K \'93]

Typical early season uncertainty helping an undeated team in the polls.  They haven't played much of anyone yet (BG, Merrimack, Niagara, AI).  But if they can beat UNH this weekend then they will certainly deserve some votes.

[Jeff Hopkins \'82]

Big if, Keith.  I'd love to see it happen, but I'm not holding my breath.

That's exactly my point, Jeff.  Exactly my point.

[Section A]

Maine moved from #13 to #1 in only 3 weeks. I wonder if there's ever been such a dramatic move up in the polls in the past.

Others receiving votes: Union College 30, 
The Ohio State University 24, Dartmouth College 18, 
University of Notre Dame 17, Ferris State University 5,
University of Alaska-Anchorage 4, University of Miami (Ohio) 3, 
Michigan State University 3, University of Northern Michigan 3, 
Western Michigan University 3, Mercyhurst College 1, 
Merrimack College 1.

I think besides there being a lot of parity in the upper part of the poll, indicative of the early season unknowns are that so many teams receive from 1-5 points, just showing that a few wins here and there can get you included.
