Blackbirds volleyball cruises to third straight title
LIU-Brooklyn Gears Up For Next Challenge at NCAA Tourney
You can’t take your program national without competing for a national championship.
The dynastic LIU-Brooklyn women’s volleyball team assured themselves an opportunity to play against the best squads in the country Sunday afternoon, cruising to a straight-set (25-20, 25-16, 25-15) victory over Robert Morris in the Northeast Conference Championship Match in front of 523 fans at Downtown’s Steinberg Wellness Center.
NEC Coach of the Year Kyle Robinson, who guided the Blackbirds (25-6) to their third straight league title, fifth during his tenure and ninth in the last 11 years, stated prior to the season that the goal for 2014 was to thrust LIU into the national spotlight.
