LIU-Brooklyn women’s tennis team sweeps to NCAAs
Blackbirds Grab First NEC Championship Since 2010 Under New Head Coach
When new LIU Brooklyn women’s tennis head coach Anthony Davison showed up at the Downtown school last September, the Blackbirds were coming off a 1-13 season, a first-round exit from the Northeast Conference Tournament, and were two players shy of the six needed to field a team.
Not exactly the type of premise that leads a first-year coach to start dreaming of championships.
But just seven months later, the Blackbirds miraculously swept their way to their first NEC title since 2010 Sunday afternoon in West Windsor, N.J., and are eagerly waiting to find out whom their opponents will be in next month’s NCAA Tournament.
