The Story of Maryland's Terrell Stoglin

Stop me if you’ve heard this one before. A talented youngster contributes right away as a freshman, making his conference’s All-Freshman team. He comes back the next season and, as a sophomore, leads the conference in scoring, becoming one of the more feared players around. Plans were made for an even more impressive junior campaign, piggy backing on the tremendous start to his college career. Instead, a ...

P.J.'s Picks - Week 7 Men's Soccer

Last week I mentioned the name Daniel Haber, Cornell’s leading forward. I also mentioned that he led the league in goals, which he still does with 14. Haber, a junior from Ontario, has started all nine games this season for Cornell and has put points on the board for the Big Red in eight of those nine matches. In five games he tallied multiple goals with one hat trick against Buffalo early in the season. To ...

Week 6 FCS Football Game Breakdowns

North Dakota State again highlights the FCS action this week as they host Youngstown State. After knocking off Northern Iowa, the nation’s top team has a ton of momentum. But the Penguins know a thing or two about beating UNI and have had a week off to prepare for NDSU. The other top ten matchup this week is in the CAA where James Madison hosts Towson. The Tigers will have an easier time of things than they ...

P.J.'s Picks - Men's Soccer Week 6

As a sports writer, you don’t always get the chance to cover the games or teams you want. This past Sunday, however, I was fortunate enough to go to one of the games I have been looking forward to since the beginning of the season, Indiana and Ohio State. Since I live in the heart of Buckeye country, literally a few miles from Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium where the Bucks’ control the pitch, I have been drawn to ...

Week 5 FCS Football Game Breakdowns

Sam Houston State fell to Central Arkansas. Youngstown State beat Northern Iowa and Taylor Heinicke threw for 730 yards in Old Dominion’s victory over New Hampshire. Those three games, among many others, shaped the playoff picture and there will be plenty more where that came from this week. The cream of the crop this week is North Dakota State travelling to the UNI Dome to take on the Panthers. This is ...

P.J.'s Picks - Men's Soccer Week 5

My pick for this week, since conference play is beginning, is a Big East conference match against NSCAA ranked No. 4 and Madness ranked No. 1 UConn versus No. 10/11 St. John’s.  UConn’s record stands at 5-0-1 with a match against unranked Boston College prior to their first conference match against St. John’s (5-0-3).  

When the two teams finally ...

Week 4 FCS Football Game Breakdowns

The Citadel did it again. If one did not believe they were for real after beating Georgia Southern, maybe we’ll believe it after they slaughtered Appalachian State. More conference games are on the docket this week as New Hampshire squares off against Old Dominion. Keep an eye out for Central Arkansas on the purple turf as they host Sam Houston State. If the Bearkats are going to lose this year prior to the ...

The gauntlet of conference play begins in the ACC and several other conferences this week. Thursday night the road to the ACC Championship kicks off with a bang with arguably the game of the year right out of the chute with the high flying Duke Blue Devils heading down to Florida State to take on a confident Seminole squad. Virginia and North Carolina will meet up in Charlottesville ...

P.J.'s Picks - Men's Soccer Week 4

A couple of weeks ago I introduced you to a non-ranked team, University of Dayton, that has continued to make headlines now with a record of four wins and one loss to the College of Charleston. This week I plan to do the same with East Tennessee State University, making headlines and with four wins and one loss as well. Standing atop of a hill overlooking Johnson City, Tennessee with a back drop of the ...
