Rutgers hired a former Stag a couple of months ago to coach the men's soccer team.

Was an All-MAAC player ... and a math major to boot!

Great to see that Rutgers is hiring a Math Major. If he can achieve 3 NCAA Tourney appearances in 5 years at Fordham.... that impressive.


McElderry is a winner: He’s coming off of three NCAA Tournament appearances the past five years at Fordham. The guy is in his prime and energetic. He played college soccer at Fairfield and then several years professionally.

McElderry is a great recruiter: Fordham is an expensive school and yet, McElderry has been able to build a winner despite giving out partial scholarships to his players and expecting them to dole out major money to go to school. It isn’t easy to recruit in New York City with high tuition costs but McElderry has been able to do that.

Hey, vastagman, maybe this new coach should do some recruiting here in Fairfield County. I hear that the U15 Academy team has some pretty good players. You know what I mean.
