Make up your mind Shooter. Your crying for Calvin who has played one of the softest schedules in the country by teams currently ranked in the region. Only 5 of the 45 ranked teams have played easier schedules than Calvin.
Last week your all over Rowan for not having a tougher schedule. Yet the numbers show only 9 of the 45 ranked teams played a tougher schedule than Rowan year to date. And by the way Rowan has a higher SOS than Messiah! Lol

Shooter. Your clearly a Messiah homer. Your speaking from an uneducated perspective when it comes to scheduling. We will see what the SOS numbers look like soon enough. Coach Baker is in his fourth season in charge after taking over on the day before preseason in 2014! Under his guidance the program has gone 10-9, 16-6, 17-3-1 and this year looking at 17-2 entering the playoffs. With two losses that  fall flat on the shoulders of the keeper who is no longer starting. All I can say is your right Rowan hasn't done it yet in the Baker era. But they have taken over the NJAC and put themselves in position to again have Home field advantage. They had a team full of sophomores last year let's see what they get done with more upperclassmen playing this year.

Rowan has turned from a teaching school from its inception to an engineering school with the change from Glassboro State to Rowan. The cumulative GPA of the team is above 3.0!

The Rowan University men's and women's soccer teams received the United Soccer Coaches Team Academic Award for the 2016-17 academic year. The recipients were announced on Thursday.

The Profs were one of just 195 programs across all divisions to earn the award in both genders. A total of 813 teams (282 men, 531 women) were honored for posting a team grade point average (GPA) of 3.0 or higher.

As for Tufts last year! Rowan didn't beat them obviously, but they only graduated one starter. Rowan is still a year away from having the Coaching staffs first recruiting class are seniors. That class has two sophomore all-Americans!

I agree. Rowan was able to shut down RUN all American Foward. They took over in the second half. #9 is a transfer from Montclair that had 11 goals as a freshman for them 2 years ago. Now he's at Rowan as a sophomore and is a total stud. Rowan added 6 new starters to the team that went 17-3-1 and graduated only 2 players. Their early season losses were to top 10 teams. They definitely have momentum after the big win tonight.

Crazy night in the NJAC!
Well this is the game that would most likely decide the regular season NJAC champ. Rutgers Newark traveled to Glassboro to take on Rowan. This game was back and forth early with both teams getting chances but Rowan had the better of play. In the second half Rowan took over but couldn't score. The game went to overtime where finally Rowan was able to get one past the little Rutgers Newark Keeper winning 1-0. This gives Rowan a clear path to home field advantage in the playoffs.

results from tonight...

TCNJ 3 - 0 Montclair
NJCU 0 - 1 Ramapo
William Patterson 1 - 1 Stockton
Kean 2 - 1 Rutgers Camden
Rowan 1 - 0 Rutgers Newark

Updated Standings

SCHOOL               CPTS      CONF   OVERALL
Rowan                 21       7-0   14-2
Rutgers-Newark         18       6-1   15-2
Montclair State         12       4-3   10-5-1
William Paterson.     10       3-3-1   9-4-2
Kean                          9       3-4   8-5-1
Ramapo                  9       3-4   8-8
Stockton                  8       2-3-2   10-3-3
Rutgers-Camden.      7       2-4-1   6-7-3
The College of NJ.     6       1-3-3   5-7-3
New Jersey City          1       0-6-1   4-8-2

Rowan has now realer off 9 straight since dropping a game to messiah that they should have won. (PK missed In Overtime) The team will be making its third straight NCAA appearance and is poised to make a deep run this year.

I Don't follow the conference closely. I look on this thread do to the importance of the teams that come out of the conference nationally every year. However, I think that picking kids out who are "busts" is really not a good topic. It is unfair, as that is all based of of other people's opinions. These kids go out and play a game they love. Some kids hit their ceiling earlier than others. But calling kids out by name for not tearing it up is disheartening.

On the schedule tonight.
                                           My prediction
Rowan at Rutgers Camden          ( 3-0 )

William Patterson at Montclair.     (2-3)

Tcnj at Stockton                         (0-2)

Ramapo at Rutgers Newark         (0-2)

Agreed! The only way three get in is if someone other than RUN or Rowan win the AQ!

Surprises this year have to be William Patterson on the positive and TCNJ on the negative. Stockton continue to freefall as I predicted.

Rowan and Newark are the class of the conference. Newark's hopes ride on one player. Where Rowan can get goals from multiple players. I think that balance will show up when they play. The game is at Rowan this year.

I see the conference getting 3 NCAA spots this year compared to 4 last year. And the 3 could become 2 if Montclair stumble down the stretch.

I watched the game last night and Rowan absolutely destroyed Stockton. In my opinion Stockton is NOT a top 25 team. They simply are not athletic enough to compete with the top teams. Their back line is not very strong and they lack a goal scorer. The pack it in and look to counter but the speedy winger that chased everything is average to good but definitely not a top player in the conference let alone the region and the country.

Tufts doesn't play nice soccer. They sit in their 4-4-2 and kick balls. They are the number one defensive team in the country. Defensive teams win but don't play nice soccer.

So Camden got run by Newark and now face Montclair to try and change the momentum of this season. The tide has turned in the NJAC with Rowan and Newark clearly taking over from Camden and Montclair. I'm curious about the academic standards at Newark. They seem to be able to get kids eligible that wouldn't be anywhere else.

We are only a few weeks into the season but lets take a look.

SCHOOL   CPTS   CONF   OVERALL
RUTGERS-NEWARK   0   0-0   5-0
STOCKTON                0      0-0   5-0-1
ROWAN                   0      0-0    5-1
WILLIAM PATERSON   0   0-0   5-1
NEW JERSEY CITY   0   0-0   3-1-1
THE COLLEGE OF NJ   0   0-0   4-2
KEAN                    0      0-0   2-1
MONTCLAIR STATE   0   0-0   3-2-1
RUTGERS-CAMDEN   0   0-0   2-3-1
RAMAPO                   0      0-0   1-3

It looks like Newark and Rowan are both back and strong. Stockton tied Arcadia tonight and haven't beat anyone good yet. They are pretenders!
What jumps out the most here is Montclair sitting 3rd from the bottom. I watched some of their game against Messiah and they didn't look anything like the teams that won so many games over the last 3-4 years. Rutgers Camden is in real danger of missing out on postseason play.
