Seventh Heaven for LIU soccer squad
Blackbirds Extend Unbeaten Streak, Clinch NEC Tourney Spot
Everything’s coming up sevens for the Northeast Conference-leading LIU-Brooklyn men’s soccer team, as in a season-high seven-game unbeaten streak and a team-high seven goals from freshman sensation Rasmus Hansen.
And none of it is a surprise to long-time Blackbirds coach TJ Kostecky, despite the fact that his team was picked to finish — you guessed it — seventh in the NEC preseason coaches’ poll.
“We have a really strong core of returning players, and I knew that our incoming players were really good as well,” Kostecky noted when asked by the Eagle Wednesday morning if he expected his team to rise as rapidly as it has.
