With three games left in the regular season, the Pioneers 13th ranked men's basketball team, according to d3hoops.com, remains focused on their main goal, winning a championship. With a record of 21-1, the Pioneers have clinched the New Jersey Athletic Conference's top seed, along with a first-round bye for the Feb. 20 games. The Pioneers, 10-0 in the NJAC, are the only undefeated team in conference play. However with all these accomplishments, including a 19 game win streak, the team isn't satisfied just yet.
When asked what kind of improvements the team would need to make in order to keep their win streak going, senior guard Joseph Ellis replied "improvements of the small things." He followed by saying the team needed to put teams away early to avoid the threat of comebacks, as well as remain sharp and play hard on defense.
"All of these things play a major part in the game, especially now that we have a humungous target on our back," Ellis added.
Ellis, who leads the team with 15.8 points per game, was recently named Division III player of the month by NJHoops.com.
With Ellis, the Pioneers receive strong play from their starting five, but what sets this team apart from others is their depth.
