Minnesota Duluth debuted at No. 10 in the NCAA Super Region Four rankings Monday, three spots out of a postseason berth.
The Bulldogs (6-2) are the lone two-loss team ranked in the region, which has three NSIC teams in No. 1 Winona State, No. 3 Minnesota State-Mankato and No. 6 Sioux Falls.
Only the top seven teams from each of the four regions qualify for the NCAA Division II tournament.
UMD continues its season Thursday night at NSIC North Division co-leader Bemidji State.
