Le Moyne Dolphins vs. LIU Sharks Prediction
I’m on Le Moyne and the points here. If Le Moyne wins, they’re in the drivers seat for the NEC regular season title, and LIU is their biggest competition here. LIU will be out for revenge, but the thing is that the Dolphins already beat the Sharks in this matchup and could do it again here, but I’ll take the points to be safe here. Give me Le Moyne and the points.
