Erie, PA — With a 3-1 victory over Mercyhurst on Friday night, LIU won its seventh straight game and improved to 6-3 in NEC play.
 
The Sharks' tenth win of the campaign was headlined by a couple of rather emphatic performances. Camelia Melendez led the way offensively with 19 kills, marking her third-highest tally of the season. Alasha Colon helped LIU hold things down defensively with 25 digs. This was the fourth time this season Colon has tallied at least 25 digs in a contest.
