Minnesota’s women’s hockey team remained No. 1 in the latest U.S. College Hockey Online poll, which was released Monday.

Minnesota (15-1-2 overall, 12-0-2 WCHA) earned 12 of a possible 15 first-place votes after splitting a weekend series with No. 2 Dartmouth, which received the other three first-place votes this week.

It is the 11th-straight week the Gophers have been ranked No. 1.

Minnesota has nearly a month off before returning Jan. 7-8 to Ridder Arena to play host to Bemidji State.

Ross has seven goals, including four on the power play, in addition to 10 assists this season.
