Forward Shaun Higgins

The Queens resident grew up playing for the Long Island Junior Soccer League clubs in Bayside, East Meadow and Dix Hills. A highlight of his soccer
career was being the two-year captain of the Hofstra University men's soccer
team under coach Rich Nutall.

"Shaun is a terrific striker with bags of speed, skill and ability," commented Long Island Academy head coach Paul Riley. "He has a nose for the goal and we have tremendous expectations for him. He is also a valuable,
positive locker room personality which will help with our new team."
