A triumphant eight-game winning streak, continuing this weekend with a 12-5 aggregate weekend sweep over No. 18 Nebraska-Omaha, is enough for Denver to reenter NCAA.com correspondent Jordan Menard’s Power 5 rankings.
Here’s a look at the rest of Menard’s rankings after Week 12:
No. 1 Boston College (Previous: 1) — BC took the sweep over Merrimack this weekend. Cutter Gauthier had a hat trick in Friday’s win and Jack Malone had a pair of goals in Saturday’s win. It’s going to be a No. 1 versus No. 2 match this weekend where BU will face off against BC, you’re not going to want to miss that.

No. 2 Boston U (Previous: 2) — BU swept Vermont over the weekend. On Friday, it seemed like Lane Hudson had his hands on almost everything actually, notching assists on four straight goals in Friday’s win and then scoring the first goal in Saturday’s win.
No. 3 Wisconsin (Previous: 4) — The Badgers had a bye week but will head to Ann Arbor to face off against Michigan this weekend.
No. 4 Denver (Previous: NR) — The Pios took a pair of ranked wins over Omaha, where Jack Devine had himself a five-point game on Friday and finished with six points on the weekend.
We’re calling it, this is tonight’s @Safeway Goal of the Game!
