The Boston College Eagles men’s hockey split its home-and-home series against the Merrimack Warriors over the weekend. 

Merrimack took the opening contest at Conte Forum 5-2 after scoring five unanswered goals in the second and third periods while Boston College won the finale 4-1 at Lawler Rink. 

The split did not impact the Eagles much in the rankings. Boston College remained at No. 2 in this week’s USCHO poll with 903 points, however did not receive a first-place vote. 

Michigan State stayed atop the poll with 997 points and 48 first-place votes, followed by the Eagles, Minnesota at No. 3 with 888 points, Western Michigan at No. 4 with 806 points, and Maine capped off the top five with 792 points. 

Providence, who ranks No. 6, and Denver, who ranks No. 7, each received one first-place vote as well.

As a whole, there was one big change in the rankings. UConn moved in to No. 17 after being unranked the week prior and Cornell fell out.
