In program’s third year, Brooklyn College soccer wins second straight championship
The Brooklyn College women’s soccer program is just three years old, but it has quickly become the top team in the CUNY Athletic Conference (CUNYAC) as it won its second consecutive title on Saturday and let everyone know that last season was no fluke.
“Last year we were the underdogs, and nobody really expected us to win,” said senior Bergelie Louis. “This year we came into the season as the defending champions. We had a target on our backs, and we just showed everyone that this is a great team. We’re not going anywhere, and we’re going to come back and try to win it all over again next year, too.”
In a rematch of last year’s CUNYAC title game, the Brooklyn College Bulldogs beat the College of Staten Island Dolphins (CSI) 1-0 in Midwood on Saturday. They have now won back-to-back CUNYAC championships. Louis netted the game winner in the second half and was named MVP.
