MONMOUTH MEN'S SOCCER BATTLES TO SCORELESS DRAW AT PRINCETON

The draw improves Monmouth's record to 4-2-2 on the season, while the Tigers push their mark to 0-6-1.

Tony, why don't you give credit to the men's soccer program ,when it's results are better then Mens Basketball and Football ?????
All I can say is..you must not be reading this blog very carefully..
We have plenty of soccer conversation and comment here on MU men's soccer...
We ( the APP) covered their home game with George Mason...I did a story and a follow on their win over UNC, and a season preview, and any and all soccer comments here are welcome...
I do not feel MU men's soccer has been underplayed
on this blog or in the APP...
At the same time, aside from soccer purists 0-0 scores will rarely excite the populace.
I have to defend Tony on this one. There has been lot of MU soccer talk ( both men's and women's). Unfortunately we don't get many people to keep the dialog going. Not sure if anyone saw this but we dropped from 2nd to 3rd in the north atlanic region rankings. We also did not receive any votes for the top 25 since we lost to Iona.
