Penn State field hockey was ranked No. 19 in the NFCHA Division I National Coaches Poll in week three. The ranking came after the Nittany Lions beat Bucknell with a 2-1 win in overtime and took down Princeton in a 3-2 win at home.

The Nittany Lions bumped one spot in the poll after being ranked No. 20 the week prior. Before that, Penn State was unranked.

The Nittany Lions will next take the field at 4 p.m. on Friday, September 27, against Indiana at home. They’ll follow that up with a contest against Lafayette at 1 p.m. on Sunday, September 29.
