Following a 1-1 week, the Hudson Valley's men's basketball team fell three spots in the latest NJCAA national poll of the season as announced by the governing office on Tuesday afternoon.

Caleb Canty (Hudson/Hudson) and O'nandi Brooks (Brooklyn/George Westinghouse) have guided the Vikings to an 11-2 record, which includes last night's 81-65 win at Kingsborough in Brooklyn. Canty is averaging 19.2 points per game and Brooks is averaging 18.8 points and 11.8 rebounds per game. 

The program is returns to the court after the holiday break on Tuesday, January 8 when Hudson Valley welcomes rival Columbia-Greene to the McDonough Sports Complex at 1 p.m.
