Sharks headed to NCAA College Cup
Outlast Terriers in another epic NEC Final shootout
This time, the Long Island University Sharks took a huge bite out of the St. Francis Brooklyn Terriers’ NCAA Tournament hopes.
Buoyed by the brilliant goaltending of Demetri Skoumbakis and a clutch goal in the penalty kick shootout by Michael Mollica, the Sharks edged the Terriers, 1-1 (6-5), Sunday in the Northeast Conference championship game to earn a berth in the upcoming NCAA College Cup.
Just seven months removed from their nearly identical NEC playoff match for the 2020 title, which the Terriers won 6-5 in a memorable shootout, LIU and SFC renewed their ongoing Downtown rivalry at LIU Soccer Park in Brookville, N.Y.
