Big jump...


After being unranked the last two weeks, the Mavericks jumped to #15 in the latest USCHO/CSTV top-20 rankings thanks to their excellent play of late. The Mavericks are proving that their young team has matured to the point that they can establish themselves for a run at the Final Five and make it to the NCAA tournament. They host Alaska-Anchorage this weekend, and in a series where they should probably take two, it is important that the Mavs stay hungry and continue to play well. Slipping up in this series could ruin their hopes for going anywhere important, and they have worked hard to get where they are. A sweep here, and they continue to stay on fire going into tough road series with Wisconsin and Colorado College. In my opinion, this is the biggest series of the year for the Mavericks.
