Blackbird lacrossers gets first NEC win
Stroup scores four goals to triumph over Mount St. Mary's
Following a winless 2013 campaign, the LIU Brooklyn women’s lacrosse team is finally beginning to see the fruits of its labor this year.
Buoyed by four goals from freshman Danita Stroup and a pair of hat tricks by fellow first-year players Tori Shinkowitz and Jenn Peters, the Blackbirds (3-10) picked up their first Northeast Conference victory of the season with Sunday afternoon’s 12-8 win over visiting Mount St. Mary’s at LIU Field.
“This is a huge team win for us,” said second-year Blackbirds coach Allison Nuzzi. “The girls have been putting in a lot of time and it’s great to see them experience success.”
