Sioux picked 2nd in Media Poll and Coaches Poll

The pre-season polls have come out, and UND is expected to do well by both the media and the coaches of the WCHA. In both polls, UND was picked to finish 2nd behind DU.

Both polls were very close in how the order was picked; the only difference was Mankato and CC were flipped.

Here are the results of the coaches poll:

1. Denver (8) 80
2. UND (2) 70
3. Wisconsin 61
4. Minnesota 58
5. St. Cloud State 55
6. Minnesota-Duluth 37
7. MSU-Mankato 34
8. Colorado College 26
9. Alaska-Anchorage 20
10. Michigan Tech 9
