Youngsters hold winter tip off at Monroe
By Gary Axelbank
BRONX, NEW YORK, November 28- The Monroe Mustangs will honor the Jr. Huguenots, the youth teams that represent New Rochelle in the Tri-County Basketball League, with two special nights of basketball at the MAC (Monroe Athletic Complex) during this weekend's 2012 Mustangs Winter Tip-off Invitational.
On Friday nights at 8:00 p.m. it is the men's game between Monroe and Central Florida. On Saturdays at 4:00 p.m. it is the men's showdown between the Mustangs and Hagerstown, and Saturday's 6:00pm women's match between Monroe and rival Harcum. Members of the Jr. Huguenots will be treated to free admission, exclusive chances at half-time prizes made possible by Modell’s and Steiner Sports Memorabilia and personal autograph sessions with the Mustangs after the games.
"This is our way of honoring young people who are staying in school and doing their best on the basketball court," said Director of Sports Development and Information Gary Axlebank. "Supporting the local community has been a part of the Monroe College legacy for almost 80 years and now that we have this gorgeous facility in downtown New Rochelle this is another way that we can keep those commitments strong."
Beginning with the Thanksgiving weekend just past, this is the second year that the Jr. Huguenots are using the MAC for their practices and games. The Jr. Huguenots, who are part of the New Rochelle Basketball Association, have full-use of the facility, including the electronic scoreboards and Monroe game personnel so that the games are operated at a quality level.
New Rochelle Basketball Association is the parent organization of both the Jr Huguenots and the “Purple Basketball Club”, the booster club of New Rochelle High School.

Maritime Falls To Anna Maria, 73-61
BRONX, NEW YORK, November 18- The Maritime basketball team wrapped up action at the Herb Kenny Tip Off Tournament on Saturday with a neutral site game against Anna Maria in the consolation matchup at Wesleyan University’s Silloway Gym. The Privateers fell to the AMCATs by the score of 73-61, falling to 0-2 on the young season as Anna Maria evens its record at 1-1.
For the second-straight game, senior Ron Bethea (Harlem, N.Y./Humanities Prep.) led Maritime in scoring with 24 points, while also grabbing five rebounds. Sophomore T-Vaughn Gibson (Freeport, Bahamas/Sunland Baptist Academy) also scored in double-digits with 13 points and a team-high six boards. Freshman Tim McNamara (Somerville, N.J./Somerville) was 6-for-8 from the free throw line and finished the day with eight points, while also leading the Privateers with three assists.
The AMCATs pulled ahead to a 10-point lead, 14-4, just over six minutes into the game, but Maritime fought back to within one point when freshman Max DeMartino (Babylon, N.Y./Babylon) hit a jumper to make the score 22-21 in favor of Anna Maria at 7:27 of the first half. However, the AMCATs ended the first half on a 15-7 run and took a 39-28 lead into the locker room.
In the second half, Anna Maria built up its biggest lead of the game, 21 points, at 12:32 when grad student Brad Peterson hit a free throw to make the score 57-36. Peterson had a game-high 20 points and seven rebounds. He was the only AMCAT to register double-digits in scoring. The Privateers rallied back to as little as eight points at 6:37 after two free throws by Gibson made the score 63-55, but it was the closest the squad would get to tying the game.

Colgate Edges Fordham, 41-39
Captures Patriot League Title
By Howard Goldin
BRONX, NEW YORK, November 18- The Colgate Raiders (8-3, 6-0) ended the 2012 Patriot League season undefeated after edging the Fordham Rams (6-5), 41-39, in a high-scoring and tightly fought contest at Jack Coffey Field on the Bronx campus of Fordham University. The sky was sunny, the temperature was comfortable (50) and both offenses came ready to roll forward.
The Rams compiled a season high of 608 yards gained and gave up a seaso-high of 547 yards. The Raiders, looking to run the table in the Patriot League, scored the first touchdown of the game on a one-yard carry by Jordan McCord at 8:22 of the first quarter. The TD was the first of three that McCord scored during the afternoon. The running back carried the ball 141 yards, raising his season total to 1,627. The senior has rushed for more than 100 yards in all 11 games this year.
The Rams, not discouraged by the start, scored the next 16 points. Fordham’s All-America candidate Carlton Koonce scored the first of his three touchdowns of the game with a 26 yard carry less than two minutes after McCord’s.
Koonce’s run of seven yards with 5:21 left in the third broke the Fordham single season rushing mark of 1,477 set by Kirwin Watson in 2003. The 232 yards gained on the ground by Koonce raised his 2012 total to 1,596. When asked about the new record after the game, he stated, “It would have been twice as nice to get a w[in].”
Colgate took back the lead at 13:15 of the third quarter on a 62-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Gavin McCarney to Ryne Morrison. McCarney, the nation’s scoring leader, also scored a TD on the ground in the final period. During the contest, he ran for 178 yards and gained 212 on his 12 completed passes. Colgate never lost the advantage again although each squad scored 20 points in the last quarter.
Fordham’s senior quarterback Ryan Higgins completed 33 of 55 passes for 386 yards in his final college game. Although he was sacked three times and one pass was intercepted, he ended his collegiate career high in the Fordham ranking for single season and career marks.
A 19-yard touchdown toss from Higgins to his favorite receiver, sophomore Brian Wetzel, brought Fordham to within two points from tying the game with 43 seconds on the clock. The two-point post-touchdown attempt to tie the score failed as Blake Wayne was stopped on the three by the Raider defense.
Wetzel’s 187 yards gained made him the third Ram player to gain more than 1,000 yards in one season. In 2012, he gained 1,042 yards as a receiver, 713 yards returning kickoffs and 82 yards returning punts.
Fordham’s super kicker Patrick Murray, Patriot League Player of the Week for the past five weeks, scored 10 points, two field goals and four extra-points to raise his season total to 106, third for a single season in Fordham history.
Prior to the game, Fordham’s seniors were honored during the annual Senior Day salute. After the contest ended, first year coach Joe Moorhead, who led the team to its first winning season since 2007, paid tribute to his seniors, “They orchestrated one of the biggest, if not the biggest, turnarounds in college football this season.” The Rams lost 10 of its 11 games in 2011.
Coach Moorhead also explained how the three Fordham losses of three points or less will have a beneficial effect on next season, “It’s going to make us hungrier, a huge motivating factor for us to turn those defeats to victories. We’re going to start tomorrow.”

Monroe downed in round one
No national title, but still alive after 3-0 loss to Iowa Central
By Gary Axelbank
BRONX, NEW YORK, November 16- The Monroe Mustangs women's volleyball team started flat, could not sustain any runs, and ultimately were defeated 3-0 (25-12, 25-20, 25-21) by Iowa Central in the first round of the NJCAA Division II Women’s National Volleyball Tournament on Thursday.
The 33-6 Mustangs, who came into the match as the #13 seed, made a number of errors and each time it looked like they could sustain some momentum, they would commit an unforced error shooting themselves in the foot and opening the door for the talented and well-coached #4 seeded 34-10 Tritons. As a result of the loss, Monroe moves into the loser's bracket, meaning they can not finish higher than 9th in the national tournament. The double-elimination rules pitt them against #5-seeded 37-9 Kirkwood (IA) on Friday at noon.
"We were out-played," said Coach Nephtali Delgado Reyes, "there's no doubt about that. We had played better in most of our regular season games, but we were a little green at how to handle the pressure of a national tournament and the competition here is very strong. But we're going to regroup and give it our best effort tomorrow because we'd like to keep playing on. This is an excellent experience for our players."
If Monroe loses tomorrow, their season will be over.
In the first set, Monroe dropped behind early and stayed behind. Early in the match they got the lead down to two (7-9) but never made it closer as Iowa pulled away.
In the second set, the score was close and in fact tied at the midway point (13-13), but Iowa got the next four points and never looked back.
In the third set, the Mustangs appeared to finally find a comfort level and led almost the whole way. The score was 15-9 for the Mustangs, when the Tritons asnwered by scoring eight of the next nine points and they took the lead for good at 18-17.
A lot of the action centered around Monroe freshman Tatihana Cordero who led Monroe in kills (7) and total attacks (33). But she also made a team-worst nine errors.
Kimberlie Alvarado enjoyed some success with 13 total attacks and six kills. Lydia Ortiz had 11 attacks and six kills.

Fordham Comes Back to Defeat Lafayette
BRONX, NEW YORK, November 12- The Victory Bell on the Rose Hill campus of Fordham University was repeatedly rung after 4 p.m. on Saturday afternoon, signifying a Fordham football victory. The Rams have been victorious in all four home games this season.
After trailing Lafayette throughout the first half, the Fordham Rams (6-4) scored the first 17 points of the second half to overtake the visiting Lafayette Leopards (5-5), 36-27, in the penultimate regular season game for both teams.
A touchdown and field goal by the visitors put Lafayette in front by a 10-0 score with 7:49 remaining in the first quarter. The next drive of 72 yards consisted of four rushes by Carlton Koonce that culminated in a one yard touchdown run for the Rams at 6:17.
Koonce continued his success carry the football during the rest of the contest. He gained net total of 189 yards on the ground in 31 carries. The elated senior deflected credit for his accomplishment to the offensive line, “The line did a great job; they executed.”
The game was Koonce’s seventh this season in which he gained more than 100 yards by rushing. His 1,364 rushing yards is the fourth highest in Fordham history. With one game remaining, Koonce needs 113 yards to tie Kirwin Watson for the Ram record.
The two teams each registered a touchdown and a field goal during the second quarter. The Fordham touchdown was recorded on the fifth longest complete pass in Fordham history. Ryan Higgins connected with Brian Wetzel for 89 yards. After the game, the quarterback said, “The long pass was all Brian.” As Higgins was speaking, Wetzel, sitting next to him, was shaking his head in the negative.
The duo combined successfully again at 9:10 of the second half. A five-yard completed touchdown pass gave Fordham its first lead in the contest. The drive and the touchdown would not have taken place without an interception by Fordham’s Jake Dixon on the Lafayette 29.
Higgins continued to move upward in the Fordham career rankings in passes, pass completions and yards gained. John Skelton, the starting quarterback of the Arizona Cardinals, whose team was on a bye week, returned to his alma mater to watch his former team play. Higgins said he was encouraged by speaking with Skelton.
The Fordham defense struck again with 39 seconds left in the third as Jordan Chapman ran an intercepted pass 64 yards for Fordham’s fourth touchdown of the game. The absence of the team’s leading tackler, Michael Martin, inspired rather than deflated his fellow. They made three interceptions and sacked the opposing quarterback three times. After the game first year Fordham coach praised the defense, “In the second half, the defense came out and responded to the challenge.”
Patrick Murray, Fordham’s all-purpose kicker, was voted Patriot League Special Teams Player of the week for the last two weeks and six times for the season. The All-America candidate had another fine game on Saturday. He successfully kicked two field goals, 25 and 31 yards respectively, punted five times with an average of 48.4 yards per punt and kicked off seven times with a 64.9 average per kickoff. He also made all four points after touchdown attempts. Murray also raised his Fordham record of field goals in a single season to 23.
Moorhead saluted the seniors on the squad, “I just feel so good for the senior class. They’ve taken the program to new heights this year and set the stage for what we’re going to do in the future.”
The seniors will be honored next Saturday as the Rams face Colgate in the final contest of the year.
Volleyball Victory-Some of the Family Weekend crowd at Fordham walked to the Rose Hill Gym to watch the final volleyball game of the season. The Rams met the University of Rhode Island. Two seniors, Michele Keathley and Randi Ewing, were honored before the contest. Members of their families including Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame member Patrick Ewing, Randi’s father, were present to support the two young women.
The Rams, as in the recently completed football contest, came from behind to claim victory. Fordham lost the first two sets but rebounded to win the final three sets. Both seniors contributed to the exciting win. Keathley had nine digs; Ewing had six kills and eight blocks. The 6-0 Ewing, wearing #33 like her father, finished her collegiate athletic career with 329 blocks, third in Fordham’s career rankings for blocks.
