The Blackbirds lost all five letterwinners from last season's NEC runner-up squad. Last year's champion Central Connecticut State received six first-place votes and were picked to finish first. Monmouth received three votes for the top spot while Robert Morris garnered the remaining ballot. Juniors Patrick Kelly (Brisbane, Australia) and Matt Wilson (Toronto, Ontario) will both be looked upon to lead the team. Three freshman, led by Greg Nicolson (Edinburgh, Scotland), round out the revamped group. A trip to Myrtle Beach, S.C. highlights LIU's spring schedule. The Fairfield Spring Invitational on Mar. 12-14 begins the week-long voyage. It is followed up by a weekend tournament honoring former LIU head golf coach Lonnie Barton at Pinecrest Golf Club in Bluffton, S.C. Mar. 17-19.
