The University of Minnesota Duluth women's hockey team retained the sixth spot in the latest USCHO.com national poll released Monday morning.

The Bulldogs climbed into the sixth slot last week, and currently own a 2-2 overall record in the Western Collegiate Hockey Association after hosting the No. 3 University of Minnesota at AMSOIL Arena last weekend.  Despite a Gopher sweep, the Bulldogs still own the top-four scorers in the conference, and Ashton Bell leads the entire nation in scoring.

UMD will host St. Cloud State University this weekend at AMSOIL Arena in another Friday night, Saturday afternoon WCHA series.  Friday night's puck drop is slated for 6:07 p.m.
