Delaware’s top high school field hockey coaches are smart.
They know who makes a difference in the big games, who is counted on to rip a shot on penalty corners, who is the most reliable at clearing away a scoring chance with a big defensive play.
They also know which players have expanded their games to compete successfully at the regional and national level.
So when we asked them to rank the top players going into the 2022 season, there were no surprises at the top.
Most of the top 10 on our preseason list have made various U.S. national teams and/or played big roles on elite club teams. They either already have college scholarships lined up or are being heavily recruited.
