KANSAS CITY, Mo. (Nov. 1, 2016) - The LIU Post women's soccer team stayed at No. 22 in this week's National Soccer Coaches Association of America Division II Poll, released Tuesday.

The Pioneers (13-2-2, 6-1-1 ECC) are one of only two East Coast Conference teams in the Top-25, joining No. 7 Bridgeport.

LIU Post finished the 2016 regular season on a 12-game unbeaten streak, after decisive wins at Pace (2-0) and NYIT (3-0). The Pioneers have outscored their opponents, 24-3, in the current stretch.

Furthermore, the green and gold have kept their opposition off the scoreboard in seven straight games, and nine of their last 10.
