There's no change in the latest Top of the Circle Top 10 Field Hockey national rankings, but  there will be a change at the top of America's all-time field hockey goals list sometime this week...probably tomorrow.

Austyn Cuneo of #6 Eastern (New Jersey) scored five more goals last Thursday in a 12-2 win over Washington Township, moving her one away from the all-time mark of 191 career goals by Lexi Smith of Florence (New Jersey). Cuneo could tie and then break the record in upcoming games against Cherry Hill East (Wednesday) or Moorestown (Thursday).

In Massachusetts, Watertown is now second on the all-time consecutive games without a loss list.  Watertown passed former #2 Casady School (Oklahoma), placing the school behind Eastern, which owns the all-time mark at 153 straight games without a loss.  Watertown's unbeaten streak is now at 108
