-- THE HAWK REPORT --
09.17.07The start of another season is fast approaching.
It’s hard to believe but we are just a little over one month away from
our season opener against William & Patterson University.
Last season finished on a disappointing note, as we failed to qualify
for the NEC tournament. A loss in the regular season finale at St.
Francis (PA) dropped our overall record to 12-18 and 7-11 in the NEC.
It was a tough way to end the season.
Despite not qualifying for postseason play there were some bright
spots, highlighted by Jhamar Youngblood being named conference rookie
of the year. It was a well-deserved honor for Jhamar and something we
can build on heading into the 2007-08 season, which presents a number
of challenges.
Our home opener against William & Patterson will be followed by five
straight road games, which includes a trip to the U.S. Virgin Islands
for the Paradise Jam. After a visit to Colgate on Nov. 9 and Seton
Hall on Nov. 11, we head to the Virgin Islands where we will open
against Notre Dame on Nov. 16. The tournament, which runs from the
16-19, will also include Baylor and Wichita State.
Our reward for a trip to paradise is the start of conference play.
Like so many leagues across the country, NEC play begins early. After
a non-league game at St. Peter’s (Nov. 28) we open conference play
against Sacred Heart (Dec. 2). Four days later we travel to FDU. It
will be nearly a month until our next NEC game (Jan. 3 @ Robert
Morris) and December will provide plenty of challenges, which we hope
will prepare us well for league play.
After spending much of the early season on the road, four of our final
six non-conference games will be played at home. This stretch begins
on Dec. 8 against Penn, which figures to challenge for another Ivy
League title this season. Rider (Dec. 15), Florida Atlantic (Dec. 23)
and Princeton (Dec. 30) will also visit West Long Branch, NJ. We also
have two road games at Hartford (Dec. 11) and Princeton (Dec. 30).
Make no mistake about it, our non-league schedule will be challenging.
The goal is to use the first few weeks of the season to learn and
develop as a unit. Of course we will be competing to win each time we
step on the floor, but we will also be using each possession to better
prepare us for conference play.
