BROOKLYN, N.Y. — Following a 3-0 victory over Le Moyne on Friday, the LIU women's volleyball team is steadily riding a five game winning streak.
 
Led by senior Camelia Melendez and her team-high 10 kills, the Sharks put the finishing touches on the team's fourth shutout in five contests and now boast a 4-3 record against conference opponents.
 
There are a number of Sharks continuing to step up. On Friday, it was Cristal Paulino Rubel, who came off the bench to tally four kills and three spikes during clutch moments.
 
Following the contest, head coach Amable Martinez praised his team's effort during the streak, beaming over the varied efforts from a number of players throughout.
 
"It's great. It allows us – especially with these back-to-back conference games over the last week -- to stay fresh. It'll help us out in the long run," the coach pointed out.
 
LIU and Le Moyne will battle it out yet again on Saturday, Oct. 26 at 2 p.m.
