Bloomsburg saw upward movement by two spots in the National Field Hockey Coaches Poll in week one.
Kutztown remains in the top spot and Shippensburg took over at No. 2. The two teams play Wednesday at Kutztown in a non-conference game. It is sure to be fantastically skillful and, if fans can make it, it’s a good one not to miss.
It’ll be the first time the two PSAC squads give each other the once over figuring the other out. There’s tons of talent in Division II and many games in the season are a can’t miss.
According to the NFHCA, “The Penn Monto/NFHCA Division II Coaches Poll is a composite ranking of the top 10 teams with a .500 or better record in the nation each week. Each Division II 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 II National Coaches Poll is voted on by NFHCA member coaches and has no bearing on selection to the NCAA Division II Field Hockey Championship.”
