SMITHFIELD, R.I. - The LIU Brooklyn women's soccer team closes out the 2015 campaign on Sunday afternoon against Bryant. Kickoff is scheduled for 11:00 a.m., with the entire match available on NEC Front Row.
The Blackbirds will look to play the role of spoliers as the Bulldogs are vying for a Northeast Conference Tournament berth. Heading into the contest, Bryant is 4-2-1 and is tied for third with 13 points, just one point ahead of fifth-place Wagner.
Senior Lucy Gunton-Jones is tied for the league lead in assists with seven, and has 16 career assists to rank third on the LIU Brooklyn all-time list. Nicole Allen (2005-08) ranks second on the list with 17, while Allison Andreano (2003-06) is the program leader with 18.
Freshman Marian Awad will round out her impressive first season with the Blackbirds on Sunday, and currently leads the team with five goals and 12 points. She also leads all NEC freshmen in goals. Junior Madison Gomez and redshirt sophomore Allegra Ondrejka rank second on LIU with four goals apiece.
Bryant is led by a strong defense that has recorded four shutouts in NEC play. The Bulldogs most recently defeated Central Connecticut in overtime, 1-0, as Alex Ralph scored the golden goal in the 97th minute.
