We’ve reached the midpoint on the WCHC season, and the NAU Icejacks lead the WCHC Tier 1 with 10 points, and a 5-1 record. NAU, with four games remaining, catapulted to the top with a strong weekend in Los Angeles, beating both LMU and UCLA. NAU also has the highest possible points, with the possibility of 18 points this season. GCU currently sits in 2nd with 10 points as well, but only with one game remaining on their WCHC schedule, can only reach 12 points on the year. UCLA, LMU and ASU sit just a few points behind, and all have at least 3 games remaining. CSUN has yet to notch their first WCHC victory this season in league play.
Tier one also has set a new height in ACHA rankings, with 5 of our Tier 1 teams ranked in the top 16, with 4 teams (LMU, ASU, GCU and NAU) currently sitting in regionals spots. Previously, the WCHC has sent no more than two teams to the ACHA West Regionals in a season.
