Lindenwood University is the new #1 ranked team in the CollegeHockey.info American Collegiate Hockey Association (ACHA) Division 1 National Poll. The Lions jump ahead of the University of Illinois in the new November 2008 media poll.

Detroit, MI, November 07, 2008 --(PR.com)-- For the first time in over a year, the University of Illinois finds itself somewhere other than on top of an American Collegiate Hockey Association (ACHA) Division 1 national poll. The defending ACHA Division 1 national champions drop to #2 in the new CollegeHockey.info ACHA Division 1 National Poll (http://www.CollegeHockey.info), overtaken by new #1 Lindenwood University.

Illinois, losers for the first time since March 3, 2007, dropped a 6-4 decision to Central Oklahoma (previously un-ranked; now #8) on October 26. The defeat was enough to slide the 9-1 Fighting Illini (4-0 in the Central State Collegiate Hockey League) down one spot to #2 in the CollegeHockey.info ACHA Division 1 National Poll.

Lindenwood University (12-2) takes over the poll's top spot. The Lion's only losses came to #9 Iowa State at Iowa State and #4 Liberty in a shoot-out.

Penn State University, Liberty University, and University of Oklahoma round out the CollegeHockey.info ACHA Division 1 National Poll's top five: (previous ranks shown in parenthesis)
