LIU-Brooklyn women’s tennis team draws Miami in NCAA Tournament
NEC champion Blackbirds swooping down to South Florida
Simply showing up and competing at the NCAA Tournament won’t be enough this time around for the Long Island University Brooklyn women’s tennis team.
The two-time defending Northeast Conference champions are eager to survive, and possibly even advance, this weekend when they visit No. 16-seed and host school Miami for the opening round of the national championships in Coral Gables, Florida.
Head coach Anthony Davison’s “Dream Team” is unbeaten in its last five matches and will be paired with the perennial powerhouse Hurricanes (16-7, 11-3 Atlantic Coast Conference), Florida International University (17-2, 6-0 Conference USA) and the University of Central Florida (19-4, 5-1 ACC) in the initial knockout rounds.
