About the stats +

Statistics compiled from public sources.

Taking a cue from NCAA field hockey’s per-game rankings, regular-season team-game averages compare scoring across schedules of different lengths. All averages use completed team games.

Regular season includes county, conference and Prep tournaments. NJSIAA state-playoff games and scoring are excluded. Statewide scoring eligibility: top 50 in regular-season points, with at least 14 eligible team games. Points = 2 per goal + 1 per assist. Team records shown are regular season.
