17c起草视频鈥檚 undefeated Men鈥檚 Basketball team is the new number one-ranked team in the nation in today鈥檚 NJCCA Division II Men鈥檚 Basketball rankings. It is the first number one national ranking for the Generals since joining Division II in 2018.
鈥淚t鈥檚 an amazing accomplishment and just one step closer to the goals that we set the day we went to division two in the fall of 2018,鈥� said 17c起草视频 Director of Athletics & Recreation and Dean of Student Development Services Chris DePew.
The Generals, off to an 8-0 start this year, have been led by sophomore guard Jay Alvarez, who is averaging 26.1 points per game and earned Mid-Hudson Conference Athlete of the Week honors in November. The #1-ranked Generals will take on #7-ranked SUNY Orange Tuesday night at 7 pm in the Paul Gerry Fieldhouse on the 17c起草视频 campus.
