College Hockey News has a nice article on UMD.
UMD are sitting good when it comes to the polls. Two polls have them ranked #2 in the country, behind Miami.
Despite all the goal scoring, UMD is only tied for 6th in the country at 4.25 goals per game (link 2). Yale is #1 at 7 goals per game, but that's a little deceiving since they've only played two games. Union at #2 has scored 40 goals in 8 games though, very impressive. UMD is tied for 7th in team defense (same link as the offense).
