Who is the best men's soccer team in all the NJAC? The Sports Guy will give you a hint. They sit in our classrooms; their colors are displayed up and down hallways across campus, and oh yeah - they've got nine wins and just one loss.

You guessed it sportlings! Coming off of a heartbreaking loss to Kean, MSU invited Ramapo into Sprague Field last Saturday night. The Road Runners hadn't allowed a goal, or a loss all season long, but as Coach Brian Sentowski put so eloquently to The Sports Guy himself, "They're good, but we're better."

Ramapo left Sprague Field with their first loss, and their first two goals allowed this season. The Red Hawks left as probably the best team in the conference. They've allowed just six goals all year, and have scored 29, good enough for second best in the conference.

The men's soccer team is 9 - 1 - 1; they are currently third in the conference, and play four of their last six games against a conference opponent. It will be a telling few weeks before the first round of the NJAC tournament. The Sports Guy says that they will easily get in, and in his eyes, should be considered a team to be reckoned with.

The Red Hawk football team hit a bit of a speed bump, and The Sports Guy says that maybe they got caught napping on the Red Dragons last Saturday. They gave up 16 unanswered points in the second half, blowing a 12-point lead.

The Sports Guy says that it's still a bit too early to jump to conclusions however. They are 2 - 1 overall, and although the conference loss has dropped them very low in the standings, all of their remaining games come against NJAC teams. They still have one of the conference's best scoring offenses and defenses, and their turnover margin of 2.33 is the NJAC's best mark. Also, The Sports Guy doesn't want you sportlings out there to forget the Red Hawks' remarkable run last season, winning nine straight to end the year.

The Red Hawk volleyball team played on Tuesday, and for the 17th time this season, they lost. As for the game itself, The Sports Guy has nothing bad to say about the way the Red Hawks played. They came into the match with a 6 - 16 record and The Sports Guy would have expected any team with a record like that to just rollover and play dead. But not these girls, they came out fired up and played as if it were a championship game. William Paterson was 11 - 6 coming in, and MSU took the Pioneers to five games. With a few things gone the other way, The Sports Guy knows that the Red Hawks could have won the game.
