The latest USCHO Division III Women's Poll, released November 2, features two Northern Collegiate Hockey Association (NCHA) programs among the nation's top programs. Adrian remains at No. 10 nationally, while St. Norbert earned votes.

Adrian (0-0-0) held its No. 10 position in the latest poll, receiving 118 points. The Bulldogs remain one of the nation's top 10 teams as they prepare to begin their 2026-27 regular-season schedule. Adrian entered the season ranked No. 10 in the October 12 preseason poll and maintained that position in the October 26 rankings.

St. Norbert (1-1-0) earned three points after opening its season with a split against Gustavus Adolphus on the road. The Green Knights opened the weekend with a 2-0 victory Friday, getting goals from Ava Anick and Taylor Lesnar. Anick scored in the second period before Lesnar added a power-play goal late in the third. The Green Knights dropped Saturday's rematch 4-3 despite a late offensive push. After falling behind 3-0, St. Norbert received goals from Mia Kozak and Sydney Zurawik to cut the deficit to 3-2. Gustavus extended its lead to 4-2 in the third period before Kozak scored her second goal of the game on a power play with an extra attacker. St. Norbert outshot Gustavus 36-29, but could not find the equalizer in the closing minutes.
