Obviously it is hard for the ladies to make much progress in the standings when they have had 3 weeks in a row where all they had was an exhibition game and a non-conference series. The ladies get back into WCHA action this weekend against BSU. The Beaver have made progress with their program as well. It should be a couple of good games for the ladies. They could use a conference sweep right now to get them back into the hunt for the top half of the conference.

Bemidji State is by far the BIGGEST surprise this year! They are sitting in 4th only 2 points behind UMD and UW who are tied for 2nd!!! Notice that MSU sits ahead of us in the standings but only has 2 conference wins. It is the Women's WCHA shootout scoring points that puts them ahead of us.

Random Stats:

UND has been outscored by their opponents 57-40 so far this year.

UND has 1 shorthanded goal this season yet has not given one up.

I really hate the shootout scoring on the women's side of the WCHA. UND has won 2 more games than MSU yet sits behind them in the standings due to the pointless shootout. OSU has won 2 more games than SCSU yet sits behind them and has won 3 more games than BSU and sits 2 spots behind them. That makes absolutely no sence.

Let's take the shootout out and take a look at what the points and standings would be then.

1. Minnesota (37) 17-4-3 21-5-4

2. Minnesota Duluth (36) 17-5-2 21-7-2

3. Wisconsin (27) 13-10-1 16-11-3

4. Ohio State (24) 11-11-2 14-12-4

5. Bemidji State (23) 8-9-7 9-14-7

6. St. Cloud State (22) 9-11-4 12-12-6

7. North Dakota (12) 5-17-2-0 6-18-4

8. Minnesota State (11) 3-16-5 5-18-5

Not earth shattering but it moved the teams around enough to really change who would be going where for the playoffs if they started right now. And I am sure OSU would appreciate to have their home ice instead of going to #3 Wisconsin which they would do if the playoffs were starting right now.
