Live Stats
Philadelphia - Drexel Field Hockey will host the nation's second-ranked team, Maryland, in the Dragons' 2010 season opener. Drexel, ranked 11th in the NFHCA preseason poll, is coming off of a 19-4 season that saw the Dragons reach the NCAA Tournament and advance to the Elite Eight where they were eliminated by Maryland. The match-up will be featured on www.drexeldragons.com as the Game of the Week with video and live stats available on the site.
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.
Maryland reached the NCAA Championship Final but were unable to defend its 2008 National Championship as the Terrapins fell to North Carolina. The Atlantic Coast Conference power was ranked No. 1 for the majority of the 2009 season and are expected to vie for the national championship once again in 2010.
