D-II Poll: Duluth Takes Control

D-II Poll: Duluth Takes Control

February 19th, 2020 General News | Bridgewater | Cal State San Marcos | Central Connecticut | College of Idaho | Dayton | FGCU | GVSU | Kennesaw State | Loyola | Minn-Duluth | Mo. State | Montana | Montana State | MSUD | NDSU | North Florida | Northern Arizona | Rhode Island | St. Johns | St. Thomas | UC Davis | UC San Diego | UC Santa Cruz | UNC-Charlotte | Utah State

ATLANTA – With a solid start to the season, including a win over a ranked Division I program, Minn.-Duluth has ascended into the top spot of the Week 1 MCLA Division II New Balance Coaches Poll for the period ending Feb. 18.

The Bulldogs (3-0), which were third in the preseason, handed then-No. 18 Minnesota its only loss of the season and has since taken down No. 10 Montana (2-2) and No. 15 Montana State (0-2).

Duluth has 14 of the 22 first-place votes cast this week.

Defending champion and preseason No. 1 St. Thomas (2-1) takes a step back with a loss to that same Minnesota team, but the Tommies still have seven first place votes and sit just three total points behind their UMLC and in-state rival.

Dayton (0-0) snagged the remaining first place vote to have them comfortably at No. 3.

North Dakota State (0-0) and College of Idaho (0-0), neither of which have started their seasons, are at No. 4 and 5, respectively.

As usual, the UMLC own six of the top seven spots in the poll with No. 6 Grand Valley State (0-0) and No. 7 St. John’s (0-1) following the Yotes.
