CCSU missed an opportunity to move into position for a last second field-goal attempt. On fourth-and-four with 14 seconds left, Brady Olson found Cortaz Williams out of the backfield, but he ran out of bounds to stop the clock just short of the marker to turn it over on downs.
LIU (2-7, 2-2 Northeast Conference) has won two of its last three games after starting the season on a six-game losing streak.
