Albany, N.Y. - The UAlbany field hockey team remains ranked in the Kookaburra/NFHCA Division I National Coaches' Poll, holding onto an 18th-place ranking after a 1-1 record last week. UAlbany stands at 11-3 on the season, including a 2-0 mark in America East Conference play.

The Great Danes posted a 1-0 over America East Conference rival Maine before falling to now-eighth ranked Syracuse, 2-1, in overtime. Junior forward Nina Walters and freshman midfielder Corrine McConville scored the Great Danes' two goals for the week. Walters tipped in a rebound on McConville's initial shot on a penalty corner for the game-winner against Maine, while McConville's drive from the top of the circle on a corner scored UAlbany's lone goal against the Orange.

UAlbany will return to action over the weekend, playing games on back-to-back days for the third week in a row. UAlbany will visit America East rival Vermont on Saturday before hosting #9 American at Alumni Turf Field on Sunday.
