BROOKVILLE, N.Y. – The Sharks secured their sixth straight NEC Tournament berth with a 5-2 win against Stonehill Friday afternoon.

Noah Sorensen singled home a run and McGurk came around to score via a
Ryan Rivera sacrifice fly.
Mike Polubinski drove in another run in the fifth via a sacrifice fly as well.
McGurk went 2-for-4 in the game, with two RBI and two runs scored, and Rivera was 1-for-3 with a double and an RBI for LIU.
