The New Jersey Athletic Conference announced its 2011 pre-season football poll today, selecting Morrisville State College -- coached by long-time Hamilton resident Terry Dow -- to finish ninth. 

 Morrisville State compiled a 2-8 record (2-7 NJAC) in their fourth season within the conference in 2010, posting league wins over Brockport and Western Connecticut. 

Dow enters his 15th season as Morrisville State College’s head football coach in 2011.In 14 seasons with the Mustangs, Dow has compiled an overall record of 66 wins and 76 losses, claiming three National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) Northeast Football Conference championships and two Region III championships.He formerly coached at Colgate.

Rejoining Dow on the sidelines this year is former Morrisville-Eaton and HCS head coach Dan Martin.

 Returning 17 starters to the squad this season, the Mustangs will open the 2011 campaign Saturday, Sept. 3 at home under the lights against non-league opponent Hartwick College.

On the 17th, the Mustangs will face preseason favorite, Montclair State University, which finished the 2010 season with a 10-2 overall record.

The Mustangs take to the road for the next two contests, traveling to The College of New Jersey on the 24th before heading south to face rival SUNY Cortland on Oct. 1.

Morrisville State returns back to Drake Field on Oct. 8 to face Western Connecticut, and will welcome Rowan University to the field the following week.

Heading back to New Jersey for two straight, the first on the 22nd to face Kean University, and another on the 29th against William Paterson, the Mustangs return for their home finale against Buffalo State on Nov. 5.
