The Vikings open up with three road matches against Region 19 opponents: RCSJ Gloucester on March 22^nd, Brookdale on March 25^th, and Ocean on March 27^th.  The Vikings match on April 2^nd vs Brookdale is their home opener.  Mercer will play RCSJ Gloucester at home on April 16^th and Ocean on April 17^th.  Mercer will also host Vaughn College on April 6^th. The Vikings will travel to take on Harford on April 12^th and Drew University on April 19^th, the final regular season match of the season.

 

The Vikings will take on some tough opponents this spring.  RCSJ Gloucester finished as National Runner Up last spring at the NJCAA Division III National Championship.  Ocean finished 3^rd at the National Championship last spring.  Harford finished 9^th at the NJCAA Division I National Championship in 2023.

 

Four year opponent, Drew University won the Landmark Conference Championship in spring 2023 and qualified for the NCAA Division III National Championship, where they advanced to the second round of the championship.  Drew went 4-0 in their fall 2023 season.

 

The Vikings are coached by Andy Stoll, who is entering his fifth year as Head Coach. Mercer returns just one player from last spring’s team but is optimistic they can field a full scoring team this spring.  Stoll will be assisted by Barb Pleva and Marc Vecchiolla.
