BROOKVILLE, N.Y. – The LIU Brooklyn women's lacrosse will play in New York state for the first time in 2017 this weekend, as the Blackbirds host Manhattan, Saturday, March 18 on the campus of LIU Post. Game time is slated for 3:30 p.m. The game, originally scheduled to be played on LIU Field, had to be moved to Brookville due to field conditions in Brooklyn. The game will not air on NEC Front Row, but fans can follow the action live via live stats here.

LAST TIME OUT
The Blackbirds have won two of their last three games, including a 22-11 win over Gardner-Webb a week ago. The 22 goals tied for second-most in LIU lacrosse history. It was only the third time LIU has reached that plateau, including once last season, and it is just two goals shy of the program record of 24. 11 different Blackbird players scored in the win for LIU, led by senior Jenn Peters, with six goals.

SCOUTING THE JASPERS
Manhattan is 1-5 early in this season, coming off a 1-1 week. The Jaspers notched their first win of the season last Sunday, beating Saint Mary's at home, 16-3. Wednesday, Manhattan fell to Rutgers on the road, 15-5.

Two players lead the Jaspers in scoring, as both Darby Nolan and Molly Fitzpatrick have 11 goals on the season, along with four and five assists, respectively. Sarah Lang is also a top point score, with nine goals and five assists, while Caitlin Murphy has eight goals and three assists, along with 10 ground balls and 11 draw controls.
