Miami University Field Hockey is ranked 15th in the NHFCA coaches’ poll, up three places from 18th last week, the NCAA announced Tuesday. The RedHawks received 70 points in the poll following a 2-0 week that included an 8-0 shutout win against Central Michigan and a 5-0 shutout win over Ball State.
In addition to their national ranking, the RedHawks find themselves among the country’s top teams in numerous stat categories. Miami is first in the nation in goals per game and total goals, averaging 4.33 scores per contest with 65 total scores. They also lead the country in assists per game, averaging 4.13 coming off a 10-assist contest on Sunday. They are seventh in the nation in penalty corners per game (8.4) with 126 total corners, first in points per game (12.8), and ninth in shutouts per game (.4).
It would be fun if some day they had a game before a football game. I’d get there early to watch. No clue about anything field hockey other than it’s a ladies sport and right by the stadium but would love to support the team. Certainly deserving of our support.
Good idea - the band would have to move their pregame location- league games are generally Friday/Sunday and we generally dont know football times until 2 weeks out but all of those are manageable challenges
