The final National Coaches Association Field Hockey Association’s Division III coaches poll was published earlier this week.
Many of the teams locked in their spot in the week nine poll. And, the teams that played in their respective conference are battling it out for the NCAA Division III tournament.
Following a thrilling Fall, Middlebury remains the constant all season. The next three teams, Salisbury, Williams, and Tufts all share the same records of 14-2.
According to the NFHCA, “the Penn Monto/NFHCA Division III Coaches Poll is a composite ranking of the top 20 teams with a .500 or better record in the nation each week. Each Division III team with an NFHCA member coach is permitted one vote for the ranking each week.
“Polls are announced every Tuesday during the field hockey playing season.
The Penn Monto/NFHCA Division III National Coaches Poll is voted on by NFHCA member coaches and has no bearing on selection to the NCAA Division III Field Hockey Championship.”
The following teams received the most votes cast by NFHCA members. The list is the team rank, name, record, and last position in last week’s poll. Bolded teams have moved position higher or lower from week to week.
