This past weekend was a big one for Boston College field hockey, who swept the ACC/Big Ten cup in Durham, NH, beating #4 Northwestern and #9 Maryland in back-to-back outings to improve to 4-0 on the season.
The Eagles were rewarded for their hot start with the #3 national ranking in this week’s NCAA field hockey coaches poll.
BC was #7 in the preseason poll. In the last “full” season, 2019, BC went to the ACC Championship Game, and to the NCAA Final Four, so it makes sense that expectations are heightened going in to this year - and now the bar has been raised again with BC’s early success.
