BROOKLYN, N.Y. --- The 2017-18 campaign for the LIU Brooklyn men's golf team will commence this weekend as the Blackbirds compete in their first fall tournament of the year - the Ryan T. Lee Memorial Intercollegiate - this weekend (September 8-10) in Simsbury, Conn.
The event, in its third installment, is held annually in memory of former Blackbird golfer Ryan Lee, who passed away in an accident in the spring of 2011.
LIU has finished tenth in each of the first two tournaments and will look to improve on their previous performance to kick off the new season. The Blackbirds' roster will sport a quartet of returners (seniors Victor Aronsson & Kyle Maihi and juniors George Helsby & Daniel Real) along with a pair of newcomers in freshmen Jayden Brown and Manuel Sosa.
