Northeast ConferenceD1-FCSwinter

PROGRAM OVERVIEW

Long Island University's women's basketball program, anchored by 16,322 students across its Brooklyn and Brookville campuses since 1926, operates from the Steinberg Wellness Center where the Sharks have compiled a formidable 16-8 record this season. Coach Niel Harrow's squad averages 70.4 points per game while holding opponents to 60.0, a decisive 10.4-point margin that demonstrates strong defensive efficiency across the Northeast Conference slate.

Playing at an 8-3 pace in home games compared to 8-5 away, the Sharks have dominated conference play with a 9-1 record that positions them as serious Northeast Conference contenders. With 14 players rotating through the program, Harrow has built a balanced squad that has proven adaptable whether facing region opponents or traveling—a blueprint that's carried them through the winter season with consistent scoring outputs and lockdown defense that's held opponents nearly 10 points below their own offensive output.
