I think they served notice against PSU last year that they were not to be taken lightly. I believe their wins this year are impressive.

Not sure I see anything special on this list LIU Brooklyn is a very, very small school that 90 percent of America has not heard of and they beat two ranked teams this weekend along with a few quality opponents in Temple, and BC.

What LIU has done so far is a shining example for small schools everywhere of how perseverance and a clever staff can matter.

Not sure I see anything special on this list Really? Well, yeah, if like, say Hawaii had those wins it wouldn't be any big deal... just the difference between a good season and average one so far. I know that was kinda mean. Sorry, but I love to see LIU doing so well.

I can admit Hawaii's victories this year has been nothing special and I would admit that had they had these wins as well. Granted LIU is a small/up and coming school so good for them for the good start this year and the progress they have been making throughout the years. Doesn't neglect the fact that these wins are average at best, in my opinion.

I remember when they made a pre-tournament video before coming to Penn State for the 1st Round of the tournament. Video showed that they weren't in awe of coming to Penn State but came to win that match and their play showed that! No team should take them lightly this year. They play Pittsburgh Thursday at 7:00p ET LIU Brooklyn vs Pittsburgh (Video-Premium)

If I am not mistaken LIU Brooklyn student body is around 11 K. This is what you call a small school? In 2004 they won 32 games and in 2005 Toby was COY with 26 wins, LIU won NEC with Toby three times in the row, went to NCAA for 10 times at least in last 14 years. They do have some traditions. To say that nobody heard about them and call LIU "a very small school"... check you facts before posting.

To say that nobody heard about them and call LIU "a very small school"... check you facts before posting. Their tradition is winning a weak conference that allows them an automatic entry to the tourney; this program is not one that would ever receive an at-large bid. Most of their wins (most of their matches) come against competition ranked in the 250-300 range according to Pablo, so I think that the fact they're beating some quality teams this season is worth noting, no matter what the population of the school is. (I think it's more like 8,000. It seems you 'recalled' that 11,000 from Wikipedia, but that's a bit overstated compared to what the LIU website shows.) I also doubt that most of America has ever heard of LIU-Brooklyn. Winning the NEC for 100 years consecutively would still make it just fine to talk about wins over Alabama, Michigan State, BC, Temple, etc.

That may be an important line to you as a Michigan State fan, but luckily for LIU-Brooklyn this is not taken into consideration when calculating their win-loss record.

LIU Brooklyn student body is around 11 K. This is what you call a small school? It's a small school. Physically it's very small. But it's a commuter school, so total enrollment is big for its physical size. Lots of part-time students, day and night. Academically it's at the low end of higher education, accessible to students who might not be in a four-year college otherwise.
