MEN'S SOCCER HOSTS FDU IN MAJOR NEC CLASH ON FRIDAY
No. 15 Hawks welcome FDU to The Great Lawn at 3 p.m.
October 25, 2006
WEST LONG BRANCH, N.J. - The Monmouth University men's soccer team, ranked No. 15 in this week's NSCAA/adidas National Poll, hosts in-state rival Fairleigh Dickinson, in Northeast Conference action on The Great Lawn on Friday afternoon.
Friday's match, set for 3 p.m., marks the Hawks' first game as a ranked squad in program history.
The conference contest carries postseason implications as well, as the winner has the inside track to the 2006 NEC Regular Season title, and home field advantage in the upcoming NEC Tournament, which both teams have already qualified for.
FDU, tied with the Hawks atop the latest NEC standings, brings with it a seven-game unbeaten streak. Not unfamiliar with national rankings, the Knights, ranked as high as No. 7 last season, feature the scoring duo of Samson Malijani (18 points) and Alejandro Bedoya (15 points).
Monmouth counters with the forward pair of Steven Holloway (Hamilton, New Zealand/Hamilton) and Tom Gray (Middletown, N.J./Middletown South), who have combined for 19 goals, 18 assists and 54 points.
Monmouth, which is carrying a 17-game unbeaten streak in league play, is on a nine-game unbeaten streak of its own. The Blue and White have also posted a 4-0-1 record at home this season.
The two squads are currently ranked one-two in the league in goals allowed, goals against average and shutouts.
Admission to the game is free.
I asked this before..anyone care to issue a scouting report on this game and a prediction??
Regarding below..I heard this kid was very good...

EMMITSBURG -- The coaches at Mount St. Mary's brought guard Jeremy Goode to the school because of his ability as a playmaker.
In Tuesday's Blue-White game at the Knott Arena, the 5-foot-9 freshman showed he could do a lot more.
Goode was the game's high scorer with 19 points and top rebounder with six. He also had a game-high six assists.
"He's a basketball player, you throw the ball up and he goes out and plays," Mount coach Milan Brown said. "It's going to be fun to see him develop."
The freshman made 7-of-12 field goal attempts, including 4-of-6 from 3-point range.
"They left me open and I got a couple of shots off," Goode said.
As a high schooler in Charlotte, N.C., Goode said he played both guard positions and small forward.
"I had to score, play defense and rebound," he said. "They brought me here to be a playmaker and that's what I will try and do."
"He's quick and very good in the open court," Brown said of Goode. "He needs to learn how to control, run the team. When he played in high school, he was the team."
MU men's hoopps has three regula season TV games scheduled and the women one...
TV: at Fairleigh Dickinson University 2/5/07 7:30 PM
TV: (H) Fairleigh Dickinson University 2/12/07 7:30
TV: (H)Sacred Heart University 2/23/07 7:00 PM - women's game on TV at 5 p.m.
My take: I guess having MU-FDU is a "local rivalry" but I would have rather the NEC put the game on with Robert Morris (Jan. 27 at MU) on TV
By the way: NEC pre-season hoop rankings are next Tuesday and Wednesday...

Well... thanks for buying!!!
I believe he did write "Hawks appear capable of a second consecutive NCAA trip."
Just hope his predictions are as accurate as his high school football picks, and MU should lap the field!
Monmouth/FDU played to a scoreless tie. Any idea what the tiebreaker is for soccer?
Since FDU beat third place SFPA and MU tied SFPA if MU and FDU tie for first place FDU gets top seed. if MU and FDU lose and SFPA win there is a three-way tie. I think..but am not sure..FDU gets No 1, MU no. 2 and SFPA No. 3 ..I think...not certain...
Thanks for the update. Wound up being a moot point as FDU lost today and Monmouth won.
