UNION LAKE, MI – The University of Mary hockey team bounced back up to #10 in the third 2026-27 regular season American Collegiate Hockey Association (ACHA) Men's Division 1 ranking following a shootout win over #4 Minot State University.
The Marauders have bounced between #10 and #11 this season. UMary was #11 in the preseason coaches poll, rose to #10 in the first poll of the regular season, dropped to #11 last week before checking in at #10 in the latest poll.
The Marauders have played six games this season and all six came against teams listed in the rankings at game time. UMary owns wins over #12 Grand Canyon, #RV Arizona State, #8 University of Jamestown and #4 Minot State with losses at #8 Jamestown and #8 Drury.
Of the Marauders 25 remaining games, 16 are against nationally-ranked programs.
The first handful of rankings this season are voted on by coaches. Computer rankings commence November 4 and will determine 15 of the 24 teams that qualify for the 2027 ACHA Men's Division I National Championships. The other nine slots are awarded to conference champions.
The 2027 ACHA Men's Division I National Championships presented by FloHockey will be hosted March 11-16 at the Centene Community Ice Center in Maryland Heights, MO.
The Marauders face their first unranked opponent of the season when UMary visits Waldorf University in a 2-game series October 23-24.
