Wesley has found a 10th game in Endicott from the CCC. Should be a bit of an easier game for the Wolverines.

Our search continues...would have been nice to see Salisbury play Endicott in the Battle of the Gulls...

SU has the benefit of potentially having a non conf in week 11. Just have to schedule with WPU. Looks like best bets are Morrisville or SUNY Maritime. SVU is an option but only in Week 11. Westminster has an open date in week 11....but...Missouri.

I think there was talk of Wesley-Salisbury as each team's non conference game, playing each other twice. That would have been epic.

I don't mind playing you guys twice (only when the 2nd game is playoffs), the odds over the last 12-13 years are definitely in your favor.

Rowan Football Releases 2019 Schedule

"I'm excited to get the year started," head coach Jay Accorsi said. "We returned a lot of talented players and had a great spring season. I'm interested to see where we will end up this year."
 
"With the loss of two games to our schedule, we had to find two new opponents for the season," Accorsi stated. "Linfield is a top-25 team and Hobart has a great program. Both teams have proven to be tough competitors, but we are excited about the opportunity to play them."

CNU hosting a jointed prospect camp with UVA... I wish Rowan would follow their lead (i.e., a joint camp with Rutgers? Temple?)

As I'm sure is the case in NJ, in VA there are so many community ties....especially in football.....I bet someone at Rowan could work a deal with a D1 program.

Former UVA coach Mike London is from the next town over (Hampton). I went to high school with him. That team was loaded back in the day. Shaun Gayle the most notable. (also same high school that Iverson attended). London is now coach at W&M, which is where the 1st CNU coach Kelchner was for 15 years...and oh by the way, was the guy that offered a scholarship to a local Newport News kid to play at W&M...Mike Tomlin.

The 757 is loaded with past and current players. Mostly in football and baseball (Cuddyear, Uptons, David Wright). Basketball is right behind due to the Boo Williams AAU program.
My older siblings went to school with a now Pro Football Hall of Famer (Dwight Stephenson). I went to school with Gayle and London. My wife went to school with Al Toon (for you old time Jets fans out there), my daughter went to same high school as Michael Vick and who has a cousin who played  in NFL...Aaron Brooks...who went to school in a building that is now part of the CNU campus. My daughter is also friends with current NFLer BW Webb.

Useless trivia. But I was able to stump the attendant in Canton at the HOF when I asked what did HOF player Henry Jordan (Packers late 50's) and Michael Vick have in common. Same HS.

Well....now that baseball and softball have bowed out of the NCAA.....it's football time!!!

Are there any sports for which CNU does NOT earn an NCAA bid? The Captains' men's basketball team, shooting I believe 9 of 10 from behind the arc to start the game, rattled Pep's Saxons into playing more like individuals rather than the team ball that got them there. Was happy to see the Captains advance to the Final Four. Outstanding team.

But regarding my Saxons, was pleased to see Sage Brown, Pat McLamore Jr., Dom LeMorta and Scotty Stopera walk across the stage at commencement last Saturday. Stopera spent oodles of time in the library during Finals Week....making up for lost time from the extended basketball season. Was happy to see all of them grab the diplomas.

On Saxon Warriors!

It is always good to see them walk across the stage knowing that they gave it all i the classroom as well! Congrats to those 4 gentlemen!

Not counting Cross Country and Track & Field, (which can be confusing), and not counting Sailing, CNU had 9 of 17 sports represented in the NCAA.  Men's basketball and Women's Soccer went to the final four. Women's basketball made it to at least the Sweet 16 for the 5th year out of 6 under Coach B. Second year Women's Golf program sent an individual to the NCAA and she placed 9th out of 131. Women's soccer coach named national Coach of the year. Softball had the National Freshman of the year.  Several All-Americans in numerous sports. Dance team finished 4th at NDA. Cheer squad brought home 3rd consecutive National Championship. Baseball and Softball were ranked #1 at some point this season. Football finished 7-2 in the tough NJAC with both losses in OT. Men's hoops finished ranked #3. Women's Soccer finished #4. Last year CNU finished 15th in the Director's Cup. 14th the year before.


A few sports are regrouping....Men's soccer has a new coach. Both LAX teams and Field Hockey are improving and will soon have a new Stadium and turf field. Men's LAX did not make NCAA but still managed 3 All-Americans.

Lots to be proud of - and still to remain humble. The goal is to give these kids  tremendous experiences and opportunities, as well as the tools to succeed on the field/court, the classroom and to prepare them as best as possible when they walk off that stage. (might I brag about the business school team that recently took first place in the National Bloomberg competition? Competing against teams from Princeton and Columbia. And the team taking first place in a Data Analytics competition which included UVA and Carnegie Melon).

And finally, about a recent CNU grad - she became the US  Army's first ever FOURTH generation paratrooper. She did it last year between JR and SR year. (Appropriate to mention on Memorial day). Her mother, grandfather and great-grandfather (jumped on D-Day), preceded her!

Where in the world is the pep band? Certainly the pep band was worthy of national recognition!

Heck, the AU Pep Band has a string of nineteen consecutive awards as "Allegany County's Best College Pep Band on the East Side of Kanakadea Creek."

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!. Well can't compete with that!!!

Most, if not all, of the pep band are also a part of  the Marching Captains.  While not getting much press, they have been in the St Patrick's Day parade...in Dublin Ireland, Thanksgiving Parade in Philadelphia and New Year's Day Parade in London, and performed the National Anthem at a Washington Nationals game.

I did some math....at over 200 members strong, the Marching Captains make up 4% of the CNU student population!

I know Accorsi has his own http://www.rowanfootballcamps.com/... In the past, Rowan has had coaches at the Rutgers camps, U Del camps... I would think they still participate but couldn't find any details listing Rowan coaches at Rutgers and U Del this year.

My HS band used to be the band in front of Santa for years at the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade. Used to go every year... I think there is a rule now that bands can't go two years in a row. I hardly got to see 'em play... I was in the locker room at halftime. They've played on Broadway too [Music Man], Giants, Jets etc.., I think they are 250 members plus color guard.
