LIU Sharks remain atop NEC standings
Extend unbeaten streak with 4-0 rout of Manhattan College
They might not play their home games in Downtown Brooklyn any longer, but the Long Island University men’s soccer team appears determined to win back the Northeast Conference from their former neighborhood rivals.
Sophomores Andre Puente, Papa Sow and Emil Jaaskelainen and freshman Michael-Andre Odusami scored and junior goalies Sergio Peralta and Julian Quaresima combined on a shutout as LIU blanked visiting Manhattan College, 4-0, in Brookville, N.Y., on Tuesday.
Puente’s second goal in as many games staked the Sharks (4-2-2) to a lead in the 13th minute before Sow made it 2-0 with his first of the year eight minutes before halftime.
