There's No Slowing Down in MCCC Athletics

 

 

January 15th may be National Nothing Day, but in Athletics, there is always something going on. Mercer’s spring sports teams will begin playing soon.  MCCC basketball teams are entering the second half of their season and looking to make a push for the Region 19 Playoffs.

 

Mercer men’s basketball must finish .500 or better in Region or overall to qualify for the Playoffs.  Each game the Vikings play in this second half of the season is critical.  The Vikings have six Region games in the second half if the season: January 21^st vs Middlesex, January 28^th vs Del Tech, February 1^st at Essex, February 4^th at Lackawanna, February 18^th at Raritan Valley and February 20^th vs Morris.  

 

Mercer men’s basketball also plays five non-Region games in the second half of the season: January 16^th vs Northampton, January 25^th vs SUNY Orange, January 30^th vs Atlantic Cape CC, February 6^th vs Bucks CCC, and February 13^th vs CCBC Dundalk.

 

MCCC women’s basketball is currently tied for fourth place in the Region 19 standings and looking to gain a top seed in the Region Playoffs.  Mercer women’s basketball faces eight Region opponents in the second half of their schedule including Union on January 14^th, Harcum on January 18^th, Middlesex on January 21^st, Del Tech on January 28^th, Essex on February 1^st, Lackawanna on February 4th, Salem on February 11^th and Raritan Valley on February 18^th.

 

At this final stretch of home basketball games there will be Academic Achievement Night to recognize all student athletes who earned All-Academic honors for the Fall 2024 semester.  There will be NGAWS Night, where a member of each MCCC women’s sports team will be recognized for National Girls and Women in Sports Day.  Both men’s and women’s basketball will have Sophomore Nights to honor their sophomore players who will be playing in their final home game as a Viking.

 

There is also the spring sport season to look forward to as baseball, softball, men’s lacrosse and men’s and women’s tennis will begin play in March.

 

Even when other areas on campus slow down, MCCC Athletics remains busy preparing for the next season and following  the success of our student athletes.

 

National Nothing Day does not exist in Mercer Athletics as there is always something going on!
