This Friday is a huge night in NCAA field hockey. Some of the top teams in the country are facing off against each other in conference play. But who is playing and what games are the biggest? Well let's take a look at the top three games of the night.
3.) #10 Syracuse at #3 Virginia: Friday night ACC field hockey with two teams heading in opposite directions. Virginia is on a roll with six straight wins and three of them coming over currently ranked squads. Syracuse on the other hand has had a brutal last two games with a 3-0 loss at North Carolina and a heartbreaking 3-2 overtime loss at home against Boston College. Despite recent results, both teams are incredibly strong and this game could go either way. Look for a great game in Charlottesville on Friday
2.) #9 Stanford at #2 Connecticut: Two top 10 teams playing in a late non-conference matchup. Both teams are heading into this matchup needing signature wins from this game but only one can win. Stanford will probably not face another top 10 team in the regular season and UCONN needs a win over a ranked opponent after losing to Boston College earlier. Bottom line is that both of these programs would be thrilled to win this game so they are both going to come prepared.
1.) #1 North Carolina at #6 Boston College: This matchup is huge plain and simple. Boston College is coming off of a historic week in the history of their program and would love to keep the momentum going against #1 North Carolina. UNC lost to Louisville last week and is looking to prove that they are truly the top team.
Honorable Mention: #4 Maryland at #14 Michigan, #17 Indiana at #8 Iowa, and #11 Louisville at #16 Wake Forest.
