With the four Ivy League squads back in action, all 22 Division 1 men's teams throughout New England are officially underway.

Mindful of that, here are three teams that are trending up, three that are trending down and three where it was a mixed bag. We've also handed out our three Player of the Week nods (Offensive, Defensive, Rookie).

Let's jump right on in, starting with Boston College and their impressive start.
