The latest USCHO Division III Women's Poll, released on February 16, showcases the NCHA’s continued strength as the postseason begins. Adrian reclaimed a top-eight position following an explosive offensive weekend, while Concordia Wisconsin maintained its No. 12 ranking after grinding out two tough NCHA wins.

Adrian received 140 points and climbed two spots to No. 8 in the nation. The Bulldogs (20-5-0) reached the 20-win plateau for the 12th-consecutive season after a home-and-home sweep of Trine. Adrian opened the series with a dominant 10-0 shutout on the road Friday, led by an offensive attack that saw 10 different players find the scoresheet. They completed the sweep with a 5-1 victory on Saturday in Adrian, Mich.

Concordia Wisconsin received 72 points and remained ranked No. 12 in the poll. The Falcons (22-2-1) showed their mettle in a home-and-home series against Marian, overcoming a determined Sabres squad. After a 3-2 victory on Friday, the Falcons needed extra time on Saturday to secure a 2-1 overtime win in Mequon, Wis. The two victories pushed the Falcons to a program-record 22 wins as they head into the Slaats Cup Playoffs as the No. 2 seed.

Both programs now transition to the Slaats Cup playoffs, where they aim to validate their national rankings with a deep run toward the NCAA tournament.
