Minnesota State continued their control of the NSIC last week, picking up four points away from home. The draw with Northern State did cost them in the polls as they dropped from 5th to 8th nationally and 1st to 2nd in the Central Region. Elsewhere in the NSIC, Bemidji State took a huge pair of wins to put the Beavers in the regional rankings for the first time in 2026. After two weeks of play three teams sit at 3 wins and 1 draw while just four remain unbeaten in the league.
