2010 NFHCA Preseason Poll
Philadelphia - For the first time in program history, the Drexel Field Hockey team is ranked in the National Field Hockey Coaches Association preseason poll. The Dragons garnered a ranking of 11, the highest among all Colonial Athletic Association schools. Defending national champion North Carolina is ranked first while Maryland, Drexel's first opponent of the season, begins the season ranked second in the country.
Drexel returns two former All-Americans for the first time in school history as Susan Ciufo and Christina Mastropaolo don Drexel uniforms for the final time in 2010. The pair combined for 50 goals last season, the most for any duo in Division I returning this season. Also back for Drexel is former All-CAA First Team midfielder Kim Tunell and CAA Defender of the Year Sofia Sanguinetti. The pair were also All-Region selections a season ago when the Dragons posted a 19-4 overall record and finished 10th in the final NFHCA National Poll.
Drexel's showdown with No. 2 Maryland highlights the first weekend of collegiate field hockey action as the Dragons host the Terrapins at Buckley Field on Friday, Aug. 27 at 7:00 p.m.
