GLEN ALLEN, Va. - The Salisbury University
field hockey team remained at the same spot in the latest
STX/National Field Hockey Coaches Association Division III coaches'
poll released Tuesday as the Sea Gulls are still No. 3 in the
country.
Salisbury (16-1, 6-0 Capital Athletic Conference) earned a total
of 523 points and one first-place vote as SU remains behind No. 1
Bowdoin College (14-0) and No. 2 Lebanon Valley College (19-0), who
are both unbeaten. SU only trails LVC by a total of 25 points and
six first-place votes.
The Sea Gulls earned the No. 1 seed and a first round bye in the
CAC tournament. SU will meet University of Mary Washington in the
semifinals on Halloween night (Wednesday) at 5:30 p.m. at Sea Gull
Stadium. SU ended its regular season last week with a 3-1 over
former CAC member Catholic University of America.
Ursinus College (16-2), the defending national champions, and
The College of New Jersey (9-2) round out the top five spots in the
rankings. Ursinus moved up to No. 4 after it beat former No. 4
Christopher Newport University, 1-0, last week. CNU moved back to
No. 6 in the polls. Ursinus and TCNJ also received one first-place
vote. The Captains from CNU are the lone team to defeat SU this
season, 2-1 on the road, on September 5. The Gulls have ripped off
15 straight wins since that set back.
