The Maryland field hockey team is ranked No. 1 in the Penn Monto/NFHCA Division I Coaches Poll for the first time since 2013, when the Terrapins advanced to the NCAA semifinals, the National Field Hockey Coaches Association announced Tuesday.
The Terrapins are off to a 12-0 start for the sixth time in program history and for the first time since 2018.
During its undefeated start, Maryland has defeated four ranked opponents: No. 19 Michigan, No. 10 Princeton, No. 6 Duke and No. 4 Wake Forest.
The Terps will return to College Park this weekend to face two Big Ten opponents— Michigan State on Friday and Ohio State on Sunday — as they look to extend their winning streak to 14 games.
