Blackbirds soccer soars to top of NEC Standings
Coach Kostecky’s Upstart Crew Remains Unbeaten in League Play
LIU Brooklyn men’s soccer head coach TJ Kostecky likens the evolution of his Northeast Conference-leading team’s development to that of a good meal.
“You get all these ingredients and you prepare this meal, and now it’s time to eat this meal,” Kostecky noted on his weekly roundup show after watching the surprising Blackbirds improve to a perfect 4-0 in conference play with a pair of impressive shutout victories over Robert Morris and St. Francis (Pa.) last week at Downtown’s LIU Field.
These Blackbirds (7-5-2 overall) entered the campaign as afterthoughts in the NEC race, especially with two-time reigning league champion St. Francis College just a few blocks away.
