BROOKLYN, N.Y. — Luke Chandler's 18 blocks in LIU's last three matches helped earn the sophomore NEC defensive player of the week honors.
Chandler tallied a season-high seven blocks in the Sharks' 3-0 sweep against American International on March 18.
The Newport Beach, Calif., native also helped lead LIU to a three-match win streak — its longest of the season.
Chandler shined in LIU's back-to-back wins against St. Francis Brooklyn. The sophomore tallied 11 blocks in two matches against the Terriers.
LIU next plays at Merrimack on Friday.
