The NFHCA Coaches Polls are intended to provide a weekly snapshot of the nation’s top-performing programs based on results, strength of competition, and the perspective of the sport’s coaching community. Beginning after the second week of regular season competition, teams must maintain a .500 record or better to be eligible for ranking consideration.
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.
