# 2 Connecticut Huskies
The defending National Champions return all but three players from last
year. They will have to replace goaltender Sarah Mansfield and captain
Marie Elena Bolles. Head Coach Nancy Stevens led the Huskies to their
first Championship and UConn's first since 1985. The Huskies are
co-champions of the Big East Conference and have enough fire power to go
far into the NCAA Tournament again this season. UConn plays host to Old
Dominion on October 10th.

# 3 Old Dominion (Lady) Monarchs
ODU begins their quest for an NCAA best 10th National Title. The Lady Monarchs are coached by Andrew Griffiths who is in his second year after receiving the BIG EAST Coaching Staff of the Year award. His team returns their top five scorers and all but two key players from last
year's run to the NCAA Tournament. All-American Back Christy Longacre
and two-time Big East Honor Roll member Back Danielle Clutter have moved
on, but Emily Harting among others are ready to step into a new role.
Junior goalkeeper Megan Hept returns as one of the best goalies in the
country (1.75 GAA, .752 SV, 8 shutouts) as she also impressed in the
spring.
Big East Second-Team junior midfielder Sarah Breen scored 27 points
last year and took a team-high 47 shots on net. Breen is just one of several
offensive experienced weapons the Lady Monarchs have this season and the main reason
why they are my #3 team.  |

#1 Maryland Terrapins
#1 Maryland Terrapins
The Maryland Terrapins begin their first year in the BIG 10. The Terps return star forward Anna Dessoye, who should be on the watch list for the Honda Award. Maryland comes to the BIG 10 a year after which they achieved yet another Final Four under Head Coach Missy
Meharg. The Terps must replace one of their all-time great scorers in
Jill Witmer, who has now continued her playing career on the U.S National team. This season the Terps will host the NCAA Field Hockey
Championships in College Park, Maryland. This team has enough returning
talent to make another deep run, while Brooke Cabrera may take over as
goalie for the departured Natalie Hunter. Maryland has won five of the
last nine NCAA Championships under Meharg.
