NFHCA: Middlebury still No. 1 in Division III coaches poll; unbeaten Rochester and SUNY Cortland battle today

Four undefeated teams stay ranked in the National Field Hockey Coaches Association Division III week three college field hockey poll.

 

The poll was published Tuesday.

 

Middlebury, which remains untouched at the top, has allowed three goals and scored 32. Salisbury has also only allowed three goals and scored 31. A game to watch, Wednesday, Sept. 25, No. 19 Rochester (8-0) plays No. 10 SUNY Cortland (7-0).

 

According to the NFHCA, “the Penn Monto/NFHCA Division I Coaches Poll is a composite ranking of the top 20 teams with a .500 or better record in the nation each week. Each Division I 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 I National Coaches Poll is voted on by NFHCA member coaches and has no bearing on selection to the NCAA Division I 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.
