Blackbirds back where they belong
Late-season push has LIU-Brooklyn on verge of NEC playoff spot
Down but never out, the LIU-Brooklyn women’s soccer club continued its late-season resurgence with a 3-2 win over Bryant on Sunday afternoon at LIU Field.
Shino Kunisawa celebrated Senior Day with a goal and an assist in her home finale as the Blackbirds (6-10-1, 4-3 Northeast Conference) extended their season-high winning streak to three games. LIU also grabbed fourth place in the league standings with one game remaining on the regular season schedule — Sunday’s visit to Mount St. Mary’s.
If the Blackbirds can make it four wins in a row in Emmitsburg, Md., this weekend, they’ll be back in the NEC Tournament with an opportunity to capture their third consecutive league championship and a spot in the NCAA Tournament Regionals.
