COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – After picking up a top-10 win on the road, Syracuse University field hockey vaulted back into the top 10 of the Penn Monto/NFHCA Coaches Poll, grabbing the number 10 slot for week eight.

Syracuse (10-5) jumped three spots with 372 points after picking off then-No. 8 Louisville 4-1 last Friday in Kentucky. The Orange spent the previous two weeks ranked 13th and returned to the top 10 for the first time since the week four poll (Sept. 26).
Northwestern grabbed the top spot again this week with 736 points, including 34 of the 38 first-place votes. Duke came in with 681 points for second this week with two top-selections. Rutgers was third with 648 points and one first-place vote as North Carolina grabbed the outstanding top nod with 644 points for fourth this week. Virginia, which hosts the ACC Tournament next week, was ranked fifth this week with 595 points.
In addition to the four ACC teams inside the top 10 this week, Louisville was ranked 12th with 361 points while Boston College slotted 13th with 350 points.
Nonconference opponents ranked in the NFHCA Coaches Poll this week include No. 9 Harvard, No. 15 Penn State (236) and No. 17 Cornell (165).
