Stonehill vs Long Island University Prediction
The Long Island University Sharks continue to struggle offensively and have lost seven of their last 10 games. The Stonehill Skyhawks are undefeated at home, and they’ve covered six of their last nine games. Stonehill doesn’t do anything great and has found itself in a lot of close games this season, but the difference is being at home, where it has yet to lose. The Long Island University Sharks are also in terrible form at the moment. I have no choice but to lay the points with the Stonehill Skyhawks.
