The field hockey postseason gets underway this week and Winnacunnet High School will go into the playoffs as the top team in the New Hampshire Orthopaedic Center/NHHSSports Coaches Poll.

The Warriors received eight first-place votes to remain at the top of the poll for the fifth week in a row. Souhegan, which got a first-place vote, pulled out of a tie with Pinkerton to reclaim sole possesion of the No. 2 spot.

The Astros came in at No. 3, just a point behind the Sabers, while Keene held off Bow by a point to remain at No. 4\. The Falcons rounded out the top five.
