Since 1997, the NFHCA has been publishing the National Coaches Polls for each NCAA division. The polls are voted on by NFHCA collegiate members each week during the field hockey playing season. The format of the polls are decided on by each NFHCA member group.
The NFHCA recognizes that the weekly rankings are the association’s best attempt to compare the strengths and weaknesses of each NCAA division’s field hockey programs from across the nation. Eligible teams must have a .500 or above record to be ranked each week The rankings are a reflection of the best teams each week as reported by the voting institutions. This poll is in no way intended to be a reflection of who will be selected to the NCAA Championship Tournament.
