RU Field Hockey Up to #18

Big weekend on tap vs Sparty and #25 ranked OSU. Sweep both and add another ranked win and all of a sudden RU could find itself in legitimate tourney talks.

What's the tourney in FH like? More like soccer? Lacrosse?

More like lax from what I know.

In the sense of fewer teams, not a true 32 or 64 field?

Exactly.

Holy crap, Delaware won the National Championship last year.

If they lose to Penn State and win the rest, they may have a chance.

They sit at 17 for their RPI, Maryland is 16, Ohio St. and Mich St. at 28 & 29 respectively.

Upset Penn State, everything changes.

I think you have the outline down to a T. RU has to beat Sparty, OSU and Maryland at a minimum. That would ensure a 4th seed in B1G tourney. For insurance one tourney win would be nice. Of course if RU beats PSU they'd be in business.
