St. Joseph's is in Brooklyn. They are not a D3 school but are a member of the USCAA.

St. Joseph's College has two campuses: one in Patchogue, Long Island and one in Brooklyn. The Patchogue campus team is in the Skyline Conference. The Brooklyn campus team is not in D3 and is a member of the USCAA. The team that played Kings Point was the St. Joe's in Brooklyn.

Thanks alot. I was confused by the whole St Joseph's thing. It is a pretty common school names I guess.

Anyone catch this game? KP is typically a strong Skyline team, I know they are in the middle of a regime change but it seems from the game write up i read St Joseph;s gave them an unexpected run?

Manhattanville might of had a tough road game at Hunter, but you can see by their recent 6-game winning streak and their thrashing of Western Connecticut State, a typical powerhouse in the Little East, the other night that they are a team that is now gelling and very dangerous in the Skyline conference. Their core of returners are mostly juniors and seniors who have played in big games last year, and who are very experienced, the Hunter game was one of their weaker wins and a sloppy game but look out for them the remainder of the season.

against Hunter they looked like a team who didnt know "who they were" and lacked a cohesiveness. However like someone has said it is early and they seem very deep, if they gel and get their minds on one track together I would definitely say they can be a good team. Seems like after famringdale the skyline is a bit of a toss up, there doesnt seem to be a clear cut contender for them, yeshiva seems decent as does manhatanville and msm, teams like centenary and cmsv look VERY weak.

zonescantstopme · December 07, 2006, 11:34:49 PM

sixfour where did you see centenary and cmsv play? and how can you say msm is tough this year going by the records they arent even in the skyline tournament right now.

Even with a bad game vs Hunter, they still found a way to win when not playing well, and look at the wins Manhattanville has put together this season already. With wins over a tough Vassar, scrappy and pesty Yeshiva, 20 point win over powerful Western Connecticut, and recently a 20 point win over Mt. St. Mary's. They ARE a GOOD team and anyone can see that. Farmingdale is dangerous and so is Stevens, St. Joe's and Yeshiva. Old Westbury and Kings Point are middle of the pack and Mt St Marys, Centenary, MSV, and Maritime are at the bottom.

st joes lost a tough one to york college tonight but hey york is a really good team this yr and st joes hung in there for the most part but its clear that york was the better team maybe next yr st joe good luck in ur conference play tho

How bad is Centenary, they have 16-88 since the 2002-2003 season. They used to be good when Pat Zipfel was there. He took then to an ECAC appearance, and his assistant is now a Division I head womens' coach.

That must be a difficult place to coach, or Zipfel must be one great coach.

anyone catch KP beat CSI? Reviews?

Have you ever been to Centenary? It is a very small school that only accepted men with the last 15 years or so. The basketball court/gym is maybe the second sorriest Knightstalker has ever seen. The sorriest being Caldwell Colleges. They have almost no facilities at Centenary and have to fight the Town of Hackettstown tooth and nail to even attempt to expand the college.
