Hawks land at No. 20; Glenelg jumps to No. 3; Arundel continues to rise
Most of the names remain the same, but their positions in the Week 2 VSN Field Hockey Top 20 have shuffled a bit, especially in the middle of the poll. The North Harford Hawks are the only new team to claim a place in the Top 20, landing at No. 20 after their 2-0 start.
No. 1 Notre Dame Prep and No. 2 Garrison Forest held onto the top two spots after their head-to-head battle last week, and Glenelg made a nice jump from No. 7 to No. 3. No. 4 Archbishop Spalding and No. 5 Chesapeake-AA retained their positions to round out the Top 5.
Arundel (3-0) continues to be the fast riser. The Wildcats entered the rankings for the first time last week at No. 13 made another big leap to No. 8 after knocking off then No. 3 Severna Park.
