GLEN ALLEN, Va. - The Salisbury University field hockey team moved up one spot in the latest STX/National Field Hockey Coaches Association Division III coaches’ poll released Tuesday as the Sea Gulls are now No. 4 in the nation.

Salisbury (10-1, 2-0 CAC) earned 766 points and two first-place votes as the maroon and gold fell 22 points shy of No. 3 The College of New Jersey (788 points). Only six teams received first-place votes. Defending national champion Ursinus College (8-1) earned the most first-place votes (20) but dropped to No. 2 behind undefeated Bowdoin College (8-0).
