Weekly Notes:

BENTLEY: Bentley, which has won 21 straight home games and its last 35 regular season games, remained number one in the NABC Division II coaches poll. The Falcons, who led Division II in scoring defense last year with a school record 57.5, have been even stingier this year, limiting the opponents to 56.8 ppg thus far this season. In two games last week, they yielded 45 points in back-to-back games against Bryant and Stonehill.

MERRIMACK: Improved to 6-0 for the first time in school history before losing in overtime to Assumption Thursday. They are ranked nationally for the first time since the 2000-01 season.

 SAINT ANSELM: After scoring 42 points versus Southern New Hampshire on Tuesday night, Chris Vetrano sits just four points shy of 1,000 points for his career.
