Footnotes

  1. ^ The current LIU Sharks football team is the direct successor to the LIU Post Pioneers, which before Long Island University merged its two athletic programs in 2019 was the only football team that represented any LIU campus during the existence of Merrimack football. The Warriors and Pioneers played annually during two different periods—first from 1998 to 2007, and then 2013 to 2018. Post led the series 13–3 at the time of LIU's athletic merger.
