Despite a rain delay, Saturday marked another Homecoming filled with fun games, good food, tailgating, a street fair and the return of hundreds of Montclair alumni and their families. As always, the Student Showcase did not disappoint, and this year there was even a zipline for the adventurous at heart. And to top it all off, the Red Hawks beat the TCNJ Lions 42-7 in their football matchup.
Check out these scenes from the day:
