LIU-Brooklyn men’s soccer works on starting new streak
Nine-game run ends with heartbreaking last-Second loss at SFU
The LIU-Brooklyn men’s soccer squad, playing out its final year here in our fair borough, saw its season-high nine-game winning streak come to an end in dramatic fashion on a prematurely wintry Sunday in Loretto, Pennsylvania.
Knotted in a scoreless deadlock with snow falling and only seconds remaining in regulation, the Blackbirds surrendered the game’s lone goal just before time expired in a 1-0 defeat to Northeast Conference rival St. Francis University.
Lucas Canineau’s blast from 25 feet out eluded Blackbirds freshman goalkeeper Sam Ilin with only two seconds to go before overtime, leaving LIU-Brooklyn (10-4-1 overall, 5-1 NEC) with an unfamiliar feeling.
