Get in the Game ] Being able to work as a member of a team, acquiring the strength and discipline to take on difficult challenges and the ability to systematically work towards your ] goals and objectives are critical character traits that will serve you well no matter where you
decide to go in life. Athletics ] builds these qualities by instilling in you a sense of camaraderie, fortitude and pride. If you are an athlete, Long Island University’s Brooklyn ] Campus is the perfect place to develop your talents. With 18 NCAA Division I varsity teams, we offer the opportunity to compete head on with some of the nation’s best. The
women’s volleyball team has made five consecutive NCAA Tournament ] appearances while the softball team has made three consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances. The athletic programs at Long Island University’s Brooklyn Campus are deeply rooted in a rich tradition of winning teams and competitive spirit. As early as the 1930s, legendary basketball coach, Clair Bee, set the ] record for the highest winning percentage in the NCAA – 83%. The Campus’ success in sports has continued over the decades. During the 1990s, Brooklyn athletics boasted the highest number of players selected in the first-
ever Major League Soccer draft. In 2005, the women’s volleyball team won ] its opening NCAA Tournament game, the first in its conference to win a match at the NCAA’s highest level. Most recently, our rich tradition of winning has been highlighted by a number of outstanding accomplishments: • Over 100 student-athletes were named to the Northeast Conference ] Honor Roll in 2009-2010. A total of 17 Brooklyn student-athletes were named to the NEC Commissioner’s Honor Roll by posting a 3.75 GPA. In addition, Selma Babic was named the NEC Scholar-Athlete of the Year for women’s tennis, while Dan Wright (men’s soccer) was named to the CoSIDA/ESPN The Magazine Academic All-District I Team, and Analda Clement was named the Arthur Ashe Jr. Sports Scholar winner for women’s bowling. The cumulative grade point average of LIU’s 200+ student-athletes was a school-record 3.18 last year. • On the fields, LIU won a conference-best five team championships during 2009-10. • 2010 LIU Female Scholar-Athlete of the Year, Lacrosse player Christie Wienckowski, was also named the valedictorian of the 2010 graduating class. On the field, Christie led the Blackbirds in scoring for three consecutive years, including her senior year with a team-best 46 points. • The women’s basketball team enjoyed an 11-win turnaround during the 2009-10 campaign, finishing 22-10 and advancing to host the Northeast Conference championship game on ESPNU. The Blackbirds’ 22 victories tied for the second-highest win total in Long Island University history. 36 ]]]] Make Your Mark ] Men • Baseball • Basketball • Cross Country • Golf • Soccer • Track & Field
