Following the lead of @stlawus over on the new UAA board. Also I can't decide if NJ fits in the Mid Atlantic since, well, it's NJ and therefore might qualify as its own US region or even country for that matter

NJAC preseason poll

That was probably the best preseason conference preview article I've seen from a conference. Lots of detail about each individual team plus coach quotes.

Odd that Lukovic missing the season wasn't mentioned. That alone has major implications on the conference at large.

Rowan University has posted its 2024 roster

stlawus · August 30, 2024, 04:24:18 PM

Montclair currently down 2-0 to Wheaton (MA). Lukovic injury might have serious impact this season.

With both goals scored by Aidan Doyle, a transfer to Wheaton after two years at DI Springhill College

I spoke with someone today deep in the know, and watched the first half. I think the
@tcnjlions administration has effectively neutered the @TCNJMS soccer program for years to come. I don't say that happily because I think this is one program that should be a consistently Top 20.

You would think that if people are paying for a sub to Flo Sports, there would be a better camera angle/stream. I cant watch the game.

Might lol? Hard to replace someone who outscored half of the division 3 teams himself

The schools are still the ones doing the filming under the FloSports deals. In theory, they require schools to meet some minimum standards, but that likely just relates to technical specifications for the camera equipment. They probably don't require them to do things like build elevated platforms for the cameras to ensure they have sightlines for the full field.

A D3 player earned a brace against a good D3 team. Kudos. I'm trying to understand what else is compelling here? (Springhill is actually D2 but same question assuming they are D1?)

The emphasis was on the transfer (although it would be true if he was a freshman recruit too) more than the division level. In other words, Wheaton may have a new weapon this year they didn't have last season. I tend to think that's the most interesting thing to watch for early in the season. Which teams may have added impact players and tracking them to see if they continue this form and help elevate the team to a new level.

Rowan F&M 2-2. Good comeback by F&M. Rowan played a lowish block in the first half and looked to counter which resulted in 2-0 Rowan lead on only 6 shots at halftime. F&M probably had 80% or more possession. The game opened up in the second half a bit but with Rowan trying to hold the lead and F&M playing with urgency. F&M tied it up in the 86' on a brilliant cross. A tie on the road as they start a difficult away run is not a bad result for Rowan. Next up is a trip to Homewood on Sunday.

The Profs leave another road game with only one point after going ahead 1-0 in the 86 minute. This time it is was a great free kick from the Red Dragons #10 2 minutes later for the draw. Stats at full time were fairly even.

At 2-1-2 after a long road trip against strong competition they should return from Cortland, or as the son called it Canada, perhaps a little disappointed but feeling proud. Next up is the first home game vs Haverford on Tuesday followed by another road trip to the Old Dominion state for MWU and CNU.

If he thinks Cortland is Canada I shudder to think what his thoughts would be if they came up to play SLU or Clarkson some time.
