Liberty University’s ACHA Division I men’s team, which had this weekend’s scheduled spring semester-opening series against Maryville canceled by COVID-19 concerns, will instead host Long Island University Friday at 7 p.m. and Saturday at 3:30 p.m. at the LaHaye Ice Center in Lynchburg, Va.<\/p>\n

“We are excited about the opportunity to be able to play them, especially to host them here at Liberty University,” said Liberty coach Kirk Handy in a statement. “It’s our goal every year to have a strong strength of schedule, and this obviously plays into that. Long Island has a brand-new program and that will be a really good game for us. It is a great opportunity for our team to see how we stack up against an NCAA opponent.”<\/p>\n

In Long Island, which is off to a 3-5-0 start with wins over Army, Holy Cross and RIT, Liberty will be facing an NCAA Division I opponent for the third time in 10 years.<\/p>\n

The Flames faced Penn State in its transitional year from the ACHA Division I ranks in 2011-12 and hosted Arizona State in the Sun Devils’ first year at the NCAA Division I level in 2015-16.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
