LIU volleyball’s NEC winning streak now at 28
With a road win against their hometown rival, the St. Francis Terriers, the LIU Brooklyn women’s volleyball team extended its Northeast Conference winning streak to 28 games on Saturday. It’s an impressive feat, but one that managed to sneak past Blackbird coach Kyle Robinson.
“Honestly, I didn’t even know the streak was that long until somebody mentioned it to me the other day,” Robinson said. “I knew it was long, but I had no idea it was that long. As impressive as it is, a lot of those matches are in the past and we’re just focused on this season, getting better and getting prepared to play in the NEC tournament.”
The Blackbirds, who clinched a NEC playoff spot the week before with a win over Sacred Heart, improved to 17-7 overall and 10-0 in the NEC with its win over St. Francis in Brooklyn Heights on Sunday. Their 28-game NEC winning streak is the second longest conference streak in the country and, while some of those matches may indeed be in the past, that doesn’t mean they are about to let up.
