How can I find Division 2 field hockey rankings?

Hi everyone, I'm a junior and really interested in pursuing field hockey at a Division 2 college. Where can I find some rankings or info on top Division 2 field hockey programs? Thanks!

Hello! It's great to hear that you're interested in pursuing field hockey at the Division 2 level. To find rankings and information on D2 field hockey programs, I recommend checking out the following resources:

1. NCAA D2 Field Hockey Homepage: Head to the NCAA Division 2 field hockey homepage (www.ncaa.com/sports/fieldhockey/d2) to stay updated on team standings, stats, and general information related to D2 field hockey.

2. National Field Hockey Coaches Association: The National Field Hockey Coaches Association (NFHCA) releases annual rankings of collegiate field hockey programs in Divisions 1, 2, and 3. Visit their website (www.nfhca.org) and navigate to the "polls & rankings" section to find the most recent D2 field hockey rankings.

3. Collegiate Conferences: Individual collegiate athletic conferences often maintain updated rankings and information for field hockey teams in their conference. Examples of conferences with D2 field hockey teams include the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC), the Northeast-10 conference, and the South Atlantic Conference Carolinas (SAC Carolinas). Visit the respective conference websites to access team standings and game results.

In addition to rankings, consider researching each school's team history, coaching staff, player development, and overall athletic program when evaluating potential fits. Additionally, visit the field hockey team's website at the colleges you're interested in to learn more about their schedule, roster, and any news or updates. This will give you a comprehensive understanding of each program and help you make the best decision for your athletic and academic goals. Good luck!
