Jamie Hall at Liberty LADY FLAMES (9-4, 1-1 Big South) Lynchburg, Va. - Vines Center - 7 p.m. The Game Liberty (9-4, 1-1 Big South) will continue its five-game homestand with a Tuesday evening contest against Route 460 rival Longwood (4-13). Tipoff is set for 7 p.m. at the Vines Center, as the Lady Flames seek their fifth straight win in the all-time head-to-head series with the Lancers. Last Time Out The Lady Flames clamped down on defense during Saturday evening’s Big South contest against Winthrop at the Vines Center. Liberty held the Eagles without a made field goal for a 14:36 stretch, spanning both halves, enabling the Lady Flames to claim their first Big South win of the season, 67-38. On Deck Liberty will resume its Big South Conference schedule Saturday at 4 p.m., when Presbyterian visits the Vines Center for the first half of a doubleheader with the Flames men’s basketball team. Liberty is 3-0 all-time against the Blue Hose on the hardwood. Lady Flames On The Air All Lady Flames basketball games may be heard LIVE on WWMC 90.9 FM “The Light.” Jamie Hall, celebrating his 16th year of broadcasting Lady Flames basketball, will once again be handling the courtside play-by-play duties for road games.

His teams have averaged more than 23 victories per year, putting his name alongside the nation’s premier women’s basketball coaches. Green has accumulated a 246-81 record on the Liberty bench, good for a winning percentage of .752. He currently ranks ninth all-time among NCAA Division I women’s basketball coaches in winning percentage, ahead of renowned coaching names like Rutgers’ Vivian Stringer, LSU’s Van Chancellor and North Carolina’s Sylvia Hatchell. More importantly, Liberty has won the Big South Tournament title and advanced to the NCAA Tournament nine times with Green as head coach. Liberty has totaled 23 or more victories during eight of those years, including the 2004-05 season, which saw the Lady Flames reach the Sweet 16 for the first time in program history. Green has actually been to the postseason on 21 occasions as a women’s basketball coach, a span which includes a dozen years as an assistant coach at Clemson. In all but one of the 21 appearances, he has experienced the NCAA Tournament. Last season, Green earned his unprecedented fifth Big South Coach of the Year award, after guiding a team decimated by ACL injuries to a 24-9 record and its 12th NCAA Tournament appearance in the last 13 years. The Lady Flames also won the Hokie Hardwood Classic, claiming their first-ever victory over Virginia Tech in the tournament championship game. At season’s end, Green saw his second player selected in the WNBA Draft, as Megan Frazee was taken in the second round by the San Antonio Silver Stars. She then played part of her rookie season alongside 2005 Liberty alum Katie (Feenstra) Mattera in San Antonio. Rebounding and defense have always been staples of Green-coached teams, and the 2008-09 Lady Flames were no exception. Liberty outrebounded opponents by an average of 12.7 caroms per game, ranking second nationally. The Lady Flames have now been listed among the nation’s top five teams in rebounding margin for six straight years. Liberty led the nation in the category in 2003-04 and 2004-05. The Lady Flames also ended the season ranked in the top 10 nationally for scoring defense (second, 52.6 ppg) and field goal percentage defense (sixth, .345). A key late-season conference victory over High Point in 2006 made Green the winningest coach in Big South Conference history. He is also Liberty’s career wins leader. The 2004-05 year was a special one on Liberty Mountain, for many reasons. A seniorladen Lady Flames team recorded upset wins over No. 4 seed Penn State (78-70) and No. 5 seed DePaul (88-79) in the first two rounds of the NCAA Tournament, becoming just the second team ever to advance to the Sweet 16 as a No. 13 seed. The Lady Flames ended the season with their highest national ranking to date, No. 21 (USA Today/ESPN). Green’s track record shows he has the ability to meet those challenges. The Lady Flames have recorded two wins over UNLV, Virginia and West Virginia and solo victories over No. 19 DePaul, No. 17 Kansas State, No. 25 Penn State, Virginia Tech and Wake Forest during Green’s tenure. The upset victory over No. 25 Virginia in 2003 marked Liberty’s first win over a Top 25 team. His record against conference foes is equally impressive. He led the Lady Flames on a Big South record 47-game winning streak and currently owns a .912 (155-15) winning percentage against conference teams. Green has marched through conference play with one or fewer setbacks seven times, while guiding the Lady Flames to two undefeated conference seasons.

The Lancers are only 1-10 when playing away from Willett Hall this season, but that one win was notable. Longwood claimed a 76-68 victory at High Point, the current Big South Conference leader, in a game played Dec. 18 at the Millis Center. Six Lancers average between 6.6 and 10.2 points per game, led by Chelsea Coward, a 6-1 freshman guard/forward. The native of Mechanicsville, Va., is Longwood’s lone double-digit scorer, at 10.2 ppg. Krystal Garrison, a 5-8 junior guard, has made a team-high 31 triples and posts 9.1 ppg. Becky Fernandes, the team’s lone senior and a 5-7 guard, paces the Lancers in both rebounds (4.5 rpg) and assists (3.8 apg). The Coaching Matchup Liberty Head Coach Carey Green is in his 11th season with the Lady Flames, and has led his team to nine Big South titles. A five-time Big South Coach of the Year, Green owns a 246-81 career record and is the all-time wins leader at Liberty and among Big South women’s basketball coaches. His career winning percentage (.752) ranked ninth all-time among NCAA Division I women’s basketball coaches at the season’s outset. Green is 3-0 all-time versus Longwood. Kristin Caruso is 28-45 in her third season as Longwood’s head coach and 60-124 in seven total years of collegiate head coaching. She served four years as Marist’s head coach (1998-2002) and was a standout player at UConn (1987-90). Caruso has never coached against Liberty. Caruso was placed on an indefinite paid leave of absence on Jan. 6, making assistant Mike Davis the acting head coach for the team’s recent losses at Campbell and Davidson. Davis, in his first year on the Lancers’ staff, was most recently an AAU coach in Richmond and played basketball at Virginia Tech from 1991-94. Liberty-Longwood Series Notes Longwood owns a 15-11 lead in the all-time head-to-head series between the pair of Commonwealth foes, which dates back to Jan. 25, 1979. However, Liberty has won all four meetings with the Lancers since becoming a Division I program, by an average of 27.5 points per contest. Tuesday’s game will be the teams’ first matchup since a Jan. 5, 2007 contest at the Vines Center. Liberty shot 58.6 percent from the field, on its way to an 82-48 triumph over the Lancers. Two of the three Frazee triplets reached double digits for the Lady Flames, as Molly tallied a game-high 14 points and Megan added a dozen markers. Keiva Stall paced Longwood with 13 points. The Lancers’ most recent victory over Liberty was a 95-88 triumph in Farmville, Va., Feb. 12, 1988. That was one of many close contests between the Lady Flames and Lancers during the 1980s. The former Mason-Dixon Conference rivals played 13 games which were decided by single digits, including a trio of overtime contests. Longwood is Liberty’s second-most common non-Big South opponent in program history, trailing only VCU (31 games).

The Lady Flames’ 70-65 setback at Gardner-Webb on Jan. 2 snapped a streak of 17 consecutive January wins for the Lady Flames. Liberty is scheduled to play nine games this January, including five contests at the Vines Center. The Lady Flames, 2-1 so far this month, currently own a 39-game home winning streak during the month of January, since a 77-72 setback versus Elon, Jan. 13, 2000. Competing Against the Commonwealth Tuesday’s game against Longwood will be the Lady Flames’ third contest against a Commonwealth opponent this season. Liberty is 0-2 versus Virginia opponents in 200910, suffering setbacks against a pair of teams which have spent time in the Top 25 this year, James Madison and Virginia. Liberty still has two Big South tilts scheduled against Radford, on Feb. 1 and March 5. Trouble on Tuesday Liberty defeated North Carolina A&T by a 57-51 count, last Tuesday at the Vines Center. However, the Lady Flames are still below .500 in Tuesday contests thus far in 2009-10, going 2-3. Liberty, which is 7-1 on all other days of the week, has lost to James Madison, Auburn and Virginia in Tuesday tilts. A Look Back Liberty opened play in the decade of the 2010s Jan. 2 at Gardner-Webb, after closing out the most successful decade in program history Dec. 29 at No. 21/23 Virginia. Here are a few of the Lady Flames’ accomplishments during the 2000s. -- Liberty went 238-75 (.760) during the decade, including a 154-14 (.917) mark against Big South Conference opponents. -- The Lady Flames won nine Big South Conference titles and made nine NCAA Tournament appearances, including a run to the “Sweet 16” in 2005. -- Three different Lady Flames combined to win six Big South Player of the Year awards: Katie Feenstra (2003, 2004 and 2005), Megan Frazee (2008 and 2009) and Sharon Wilkerson (2000). -- Feenstra and Frazee became Liberty’s first two WNBA players in program history. A Challenging Slate A relatively young and inexperienced Liberty squad has faced a difficult schedule thus far in 2009-10. North Carolina A&T was the 11th opponent in the Lady Flames’ first 13 games which has boasted a record of .500 or better at the time of the matchup. The Lady Flames have also faced two teams (Virginia and James Madison) which have appeared in the Top 25 at some point this season. Amber Accumulates Assists Senior Amber Mays tallied a career-high 10 assists during Saturday’s 67-38 victory over Winthrop, the most by a Lady Flame since Nov. 22, 2002. That evening, Daina Staugaitiene dished out 10 helpers in a 90-35 season-opening win over Morgan State. Mays is now averaging 4.7 assists per contest on the year. No Liberty point guard has averaged that many assists for an entire season since 1997-98, when Sarah Wilkerson distributed 5.1 apg. Defense Causes a Drought Part of a stellar defensive outing Saturday versus Winthrop, Liberty held the Eagles without a made field goal for a span of 14:36, including parts of both halves. During that time, the Lady Flames forced 10 turnovers and 12 missed shots and posted a 30-4 run.

Five-Game Homestand After not playing a single home game for an entire month, the Lady Flames are in the midst of five straight home tilts at the Vines Center, during a 14-day stretch (Jan. 5-18). This is Liberty’s longest homestand of the season and the Lady Flames’ longest run of home contests since January 2006. The 2005-06 Liberty squad played five straight games at the Vines Center twice during that season. 70 is the Magic Number Liberty is 4-0 this season when scoring at least 70 points in a game, extending a lengthy streak. The Lady Flames have now won 86 consecutive games when reaching the 70-point plateau offensively. No. 24 Boston College was the most recent team to defeat Liberty when the Lady Flames tallied 70 points. The Eagles dealt the Lady Flames a 74-70 overtime loss, Dec. 6, 2003 at the Brown Classic. Liberty has not dropped a game when scoring 70 points in regulation since Dec. 4, 2002. That day, the Lady Flames fell in a road contest at Commonwealth foe Richmond by an 88-74 count. Big Wins, Tight Losses Liberty has won its nine games by wide margins this season, while keeping it close in each of its four losses. The Lady Flames’ eight victories have come by an average of 25.2 points. Liberty’s tightest win was a 57-51 home victory over North Carolina A&T on Jan. 5. Meanwhile, Liberty has lost its four games by a total of 30 points. James Madison posted the widest margin of victory over the Lady Flames, defeating Liberty 60-50, Dec. 1 at the Vines Center. Coach Green Versus the Big South Liberty head coach Carey Green has enjoyed considerable success versus the Big South with the Lady Flames. His teams are 155-15 against Big South opponents, including 128-14 in the regular season and 27-1 in the Big South Championship. Green has never lost to his alma mater, Coastal Carolina (23-0), Charleston Southern (23-0) or Presbyterian (3-0) during his time at Liberty. Memorable Debut Redshirt freshman Devon Brown was among four Lady Flames who made their collegiate debuts during Liberty’s 71-26 win over Winston-Salem State on Nov. 13. Brown led Liberty with 26 points and added seven rebounds. -- It was the most points a Lady Flame has scored in her collegiate debut since Elena Kisseleva scored 30 points against Bluefield on Nov. 23, 1996. -- It marked the first time since Feb. 26, 1976 that a Liberty player has matched or exceeded the opponent’s score. That day, Trena Criss (33 points) outscored Roanoke College (22) by herself. National Statistical Rankings Through the contests of Jan. 7, the Lady Flames were ranked among the NCAA’s top 15 teams in five statistical categories. At that juncture, Liberty sat No. 4 in rebound margin (+13.0), No. 7 in both scoring defense (51.5 ppg) and three-point field goal percentage defense (.243), No. 9 in field goal percentage (.473) and No. 15 in field goal percentage defense (.342). No other team in the nation is ranked in the top 15 in all five of those categories. No. 1 Connecticut joins Liberty in the top 15 of every category but three-point field goal defense.

The Lady Flames won the Navy Classic, while finishing second at this week’s Marriott Cavalier Classic. Liberty has won four regular-season tournament championships during the last three years, a list which also includes the 2008 National City Xavier Invitational, the 2008 UNLV Lady Rebel Christmas Classic and the 2009 Hokie Hardwood Classic. Clamping Down on Defense The Lady Flames have held 97 consecutive opponents under 50 percent field goal shooting. The last Liberty foe to sink more than half of its field goal attempts was Marist, at the Maryland Terrapin Classic on Dec. 29, 2006. In 2008-09, the Lady Flames ranked No. 6 nationally in field goal percentage defense, allowing opponents to shoot just 34.5 percent for the season. Liberty is off to a strong start this season, holding its first 13 opponents to 50.4 ppg and 34.0 percent shooting from the field. The Lady Flames lead the Big South and rank in the top 15 nationally in both categories. Wanted for Theft Liberty has employed an aggressive, trapping defense this season, helping the Lady Flames rank second in the Big South with 11.0 steals per contest. Liberty has tallied double-digit steals 10 times in its first 13 games of the year. Leading the way is senior Amber Mays, who has accounted for one-quarter (35) of the Lady Flames’ 140 thefts. The Container is Half Full This season, the Lady Flames are 5-0, when shooting 50 percent or higher from the field. Liberty is now 64-0 under head coach Carey Green, when the Lady Flames sink at least half of their field goals. Liberty Versus Non-Conference Opposition Liberty is 8-3 against non-conference opponents this season, boosting its all-time non-conference ledger to 274-296. The Lady Flames have won 15 of their last 18 non-Big South tilts at the Vines Center. Liberty’s best-ever season against non-conference foes came in 1997-98, when the Lady Flames went 14-1 outside the Big South. Liberty’s lone non-conference setback that season came to eventual national champion Tennessee in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. Lady Flames to Face Wide Variety of Non-Conference Foes Liberty is scheduled to face opponents from nine different conferences this season, including ACC (Virginia), CAA (James Madison), Conference USA (Tulane), Ivy (Cornell), MEAC (North Carolina A&T & Winston-Salem State), Patriot (Lafayette & Navy), SEC (Auburn), Southern (UNC Greensboro) and WVIAC (Glenville State) foes. Painting a Masterpiece Last season, Liberty regularly controlled the area around the basket, outscoring 29 of 33 opponents in the “points in the paint” statistical category. This year, the Lady Flames are off to an outstanding start in racking up “points in the paint” once again. Liberty has outscored all 13 opponents inside the paint in 2009-10, by an average margin of 24 points (39.8 to 15.8). There is Only One Starting point guard Amber Mays is the only senior on this year’s team roster. Liberty has not had so few seniors since the 2005-06 Lady Flames played the season without a single senior. Mays has been a key contributor for this year’s team, leading the squad in assists (4.7 apg) and steals (2.7 apg), while ranking second on the Lady Flames in minutes played (27.5 mpg) and third in scoring (8.6 ppg).

Among many other accomplishments and accolades, Frazee graduated as the No. 2 scorer (1,883 points) and No. 3 rebounder (951 rebounds) in program history, leaving some very big shoes to fill. Liberty’s new No. 40, Devon Brown, has worn the number proudly so far. The redshirt freshman from Waynesboro, Va. is averaging 17.5 ppg and 8.8 rpg, pacing the Lady Flames in both categories. She also leads the Big South in scoring, something no conference freshman has achieved since Liberty’s Elena Kisseleva in 1996-97.

Liberty also collected one vote in the AP Top 25 Poll, released on Nov. 30. Turning Up the Heat in the Furnace The 2009-10 campaign is the 18th season the Liberty women’s basketball team has called the Vines Center its full-time home. The “Furnace” has served as a favorable venue for the Lady Flames over the years. Liberty is 193-52 (.788) all-time at the Vines Center, including 10-2 last season. The Lady Flames are 5-1 to start this year’s 15-game home schedule and are 101-10 in their last 111 home games, dating back to the 2001-02 season. Noting the 90s The Lady Flames scored a season-high 90 points during their Nov. 28 victory at Lafayette. It was the 10th time Liberty has reached the 90-point plateau under head coach Carey Green. The Lady Flames’ most recent 90-point outburst came during a 92-68 home win over St. Paul’s, Dec. 13, 2008. Liberty had not scored 90 points in a road game since a 94-75 triumph at Richmond, Dec. 4, 1999 in the opening round of the Wachovia Women’s Invitational. Corralling the Caroms Liberty has ranked among the nation’s top five teams in rebounding margin for six consecutive seasons, including a No. 2 listing in 2008-09. Even though two of the top three rebounders from last year’s squad graduated, the Lady Flames have gotten off to a strong start again this season. Liberty has won the rebounding battle in 12 of its first 13 games this season, by an average of 13.2 boards per contest. Leading the way are redshirt freshman Devon Brown (8.8 rpg) and redshirt sophomore Avery Warley (7.7 rpg). Lack of Overtime Liberty has played only one overtime game in its last 192 outings, a 64-62 setback at High Point on Jan. 20, 2007. Since that contest at the Millis Center, the Lady Flames have played 91 consecutive games without needing extra time. The Lady Flames’ most recent overtime victory came on Jan. 6, 2004, when Liberty defeated American, 76-72, on the road in double overtime. No current Lady Flame has won an overtime contest in college. Liberty’s most recent overtime contest at the Vines Center was a memorable one. The Lady Flames defeated Virginia, 77-69, in overtime on Nov. 26, 2002, to claim their firstever win over the Cavaliers. It also marked Liberty’s first win over a ranked opponent, as Virginia entered the game with a No. 25 national ranking. Big Shoes to Fill Seven seniors graduated from last year’s Liberty team, which went 24-9 and won its second consecutive Big South title. Alexandria Bream, Megan Frazee, Molly Frazee, Moriah Frazee, Rachel Hammond, Rebecca Lightfoot and Jessica Nelson accounted for 57.0 percent of the Lady Flames’ points and 41.7 percent of the team’s rebounds in 2008-09. Headlining the group was Megan Frazee, who claimed the Big South Player of the Year and Big South Championship MVP awards. Youth will be Served Underclassmen have stepped up to fill the void left by the seven seniors who graduated from the 2008-09 Liberty roster. Through the first 13 games of the 2009-10 campaign, the Lady Flames’ freshmen and sophomores are accounting for 72.9 percent of the team’s points and 75.3 percent of Liberty’s rebounds. The Lady Flames’ top five rebounders are all either freshmen or sophomores, as are five of the top six scorers. Top 50 Rebounders in Liberty History 1. Katie Feenstra 2. Sharon Snodgrass 3.

During that stretch, she single-handedly outscored the Eagles, 21-8. Earlier this season, Brown matched Winston-Salem State’s total offensive output for the game (26-26) on Nov. 13. She also outscored Navy during the second half of the Navy Classic title contest (Nov. 20) by herself, 14-11. Furious Comeback The Lady Flames fell behind Navy, 20-4, 7:56 into the Navy Classic championship game on Nov. 21. Liberty then outscored the host Midshipmen, 51-23, during the remainder of the game to claim an improbable 55-43 victory. It was the Lady Flames’ largest comeback since Nov. 27, 2001, in a matchup with VCU at the Vines Center. The Rams owned a 38-22 advantage with 18:41 remaining in the second half, before the Lady Flames rallied for a 65-60 victory. A Tale of Two Halves Liberty has regularly stepped up its level of play during the second half this season. The Lady Flames are outscoring opponents by an average score of 36.3-26.2 during the final 20 minutes of play, thus far this season. Liberty is shooting .521 from the field after halftime, while limiting opponents to a .324 second-half field goal percentage. Freshman of the Week LaKendra Washington’s 21-point, four-steal performance at Lafayette on Nov. 28 was recognized by the Big South Conference on Dec. 1. The freshman guard was named the Big South Freshman of the Week, marking the second consecutive week a Liberty rookie was honored by the Big South. First Since Frazee After averaging 21.0 ppg and 10.7 rpg during Liberty’s 3-0 week, Devon Brown was honored as Big South Player of the Week on Nov. 24. She became the first Lady Flames freshman to win the award since Megan Frazee captured it twice during her rookie season (Dec. 5, 2005 & Jan. 16, 2006).

Liberty’s defense set the tone for its seasonopening victory over Winston-Salem State, keeping the Lady Rams off the scoreboard for the first 8:44 of play. Meanwhile, redshirt freshman Devon Brown took care of things at the offensive end, exploding for 26 points in the Lady Flames’ 71-26 triumph at the Vines Center. As previously mentioned, the Rams did not find the bottom of the net for the first 8:44, as Liberty jumped out to a 13-0 lead. The first seven points of Brown’s collegiate career came during the Lady Flames’ gameopening surge. The Rams scored six of the contest’s next seven markers, trimming their deficit to 14-6 on Jillian Charlet’s layup at the 6:38 mark of the opening half. However, Winston-Salem State managed only six points for the remainder of the stanza, while Liberty’s lead ballooned to 18. Brown sent the Lady Flames into halftime with a 30-12 advantage, swishing back-to-back triples in the final minute of the period to close out at 15-point half. Liberty put the game away with a 20-4 run to open the second half, sparked by a pair of freshmen. Brown had 13 points and LaKendra Washington tallied five markers during the surge, which lasted 9:09.

Liberty held its second straight opponent to below 30 percent field goal shooting and put three players in double figures versus UNC Greensboro. As a result, the Lady Flames opened the campaign with their second straight victory, a 60-42 triumph at the Vines Center. Devon Brown scored 26 points for the second consecutive game to open her college career. Neither team found the bottom of the net for the first 2:38 of the game, before UNC Greensboro’s Amanda Leigh drained a 15-foot jumper to break the ice. However, the blue-clad Spartans only made one field goal over the next 10:37. During their stretch of cold shooting, Liberty opened up a 16-4 lead, aided by six Brown points. UNCG scored six of the next nine points, trimming its deficit to 19-10 on Lakiah Hyson’s jumper at the 5:27 mark. The Spartans were still within nine at 23-14, before Brown sparked a 9-3 Liberty burst with seven points and a steal. Her theft led to Amber Mays’ layup, which gave the Lady Flames their largest lead of the opening half, 32-17. UNC Greensboro then scored the stanza’s final four markers, cutting Liberty’s halftime advantage to 11 points, 32-21. The Spartans emerged from the locker room with a 7-3 surge. Hyson’s triple at 16:51 closed the run, bringing her team to within 35-28. Another UNCG three-pointer, by Dayshaun Richbow at 12:58, again cut Liberty’s edge to seven, 41-34. However, the Spartans did not make their next field goal until a Leigh three-pointer 7:36 later. By that time, Liberty had opened up a 54-38 advantage with a 13-4 run. Mays contributed five points to the surge, which wrapped up with her layup at the 6:58 mark. UNC Greensboro got no closer than 13 the rest of the evening, as Liberty finished off a 60-42 victory in its first home game against the Spartans since the 1997 Big South Championship title contest.

Game 3 Tulane (1-1) 52 November 20, 2009 Liberty (3-0) 63 A 24-2 first-half run gave Liberty a lead it never relinquished, and the Lady Flames went on to win the opening game of the Navy Classic, 63-52 over Tulane. After Tulane’s Brittany Lindsey scored the game’s first hoop on a lob play, the Green Wave only managed two points over the next 12:46. During that time, Liberty outscored green-uniformed Tulane, 24-2. Rachel McLeod scored six points during the extended surge, including a pair of free throws at 7:12 which gave the Lady Flames a 24-4 advantage. The Green Wave then began to chip away at their deficit. A 10-3 surge, capped off by Chassity Brown’s triple from the top of the key, brought Tulane to within 30-19, 10 seconds before the intermission. LaKendra Washington connected on a driving layup as the buzzer sounded, pushing Liberty’s halftime lead to 13 points, at 32-19. Two triples by Indira Kaljo during the first three minutes of the second period helped Tulane cut the Lady Flames’ lead to 36-27. Brown then notched the last 10 points of Liberty’s ensuing 12-1 run, including a 25foot three-pointer from the right wing as the shot clock expired with 12:44 remaining on the second-half clock. The Waynesboro, Va., native’s long-distance connection bolstered the Lady Flames’ advantage back up to 4828. Tulane was not done yet, as two more Kaljo trifectas bookended an 8-0 burst. Her three-pointer at 10:48 made the score 48-36, Liberty. The Lady Flames quickly pushed the lead back to 16, 52-36, on baskets by Dymond Morgan and Brown within 42 seconds following Kaljo’s triple. The Green Wave cut their deficit to single digits one last time, at 61-52, when Lindsey canned a layup with 1:54 left. However, those were Tulane’s final points of the afternoon.

Second-chance hoops by Amber Mays and Avery Warley initiated a game-opening 6-0 run by the Lady Flames. Lafayette quickly cut its deficit to 6-4 at 17:04, after notching its first two baskets of the afternoon within a 21-second span. However, that was as close as the Leopards got for the remainder of the opening half. Another 6-0 burst by red-clad Liberty, culminating with a Warley layup at the 14:47 mark, pushed the visitors’ advantage back to 12-4. Lafayette pulled to within three points, 6:12 before halftime, when Lauren Jackson nailed the first three-pointer of the contest by either team. Her long-distance connection trimmed Liberty’s advantage to 23-20. The Leopards still trailed by three, 29-26, before the Lady Flames put together their best run of the opening 20 minutes. Liberty outscored Lafayette, 13-2, for the remainder of the half, aided by six Washington tallies. As a result, the Lady Flames took a 42-28 advantage into the locker room. Lafayette drained three of its first four field goals to start the second half, trimming Liberty’s lead to 4535 on Amanda Smith’s mid-range jumper at 17:05. The Leopards did not make another field goal until the 8:19 mark, when Jackson hit a jump shot from the right corner. During that time, Liberty put the game away with a 19-2 surge. Brown totaled eight points during the extended run, including a layup at 11:34 which made the score 64-37, Lady Flames.

James Madison held the Lady Flames without a made field goal for a total of 5:27, while the Dukes recorded an 11-1 run. Five straight points by Kiara Francisco off the bench gave JMU an 11-3 lead, 13:55 before the intermission. James Madison’s advantage reached 15 points, 22-7, when Nichelle Glover canned a jumper from the paint at 6:12. A 5-0 Liberty burst, solely consisting of Devon Brown free throws, pulled the Lady Flames to within 10, at 22-12. However, that was as close as Liberty got for the remainder of the opening stanza, which ended with James Madison in front by a 28-16 margin. Liberty trimmed its deficit to 10 twice during the opening minute of the second half, including at 3020 on Kylee Beecher’s putback hoop. Williams’ free throw with 17:08 showing on the second-half clock bolstered JMU’s lead back to 36-22.

Liberty’s furious second-half comeback sliced Auburn’s lead from 14 points to three. However, the Tigers were able to fend off the Lady Flames and hold on to claim a 70-64 victory at Beard-Eaves Memorial Coliseum. The lead changed hands four times during the early-going, and Devon Brown’s oldfashioned three-point play made the score 14-13, Auburn. The Lady Flames then scored only two points over the next 9:44. Liberty’s offensive drought enabled Auburn to compose a 14-2 run, featuring three Alli Smalley triples. Blanche Alverson’s transition layup wrapped up the surge, 3:37 before the intermission. Her hoop bolstered the homestanding Tigers’ advantage to 2815. Alverson’s second triple of the opening 20 minutes sent the Tigers into the locker room with a 33-19 lead. Liberty notched five of the second half’s first six points, shaving Auburn’s edge to 34-24 on Kylee Beecher’s free throw with 18:45 remaining. Chantel Hilliard pushed the Tigers’ lead back to 14, 44-30, when she made a baseline jumper at 14:19. That was Auburn’s last made field goal until Hilliard’s putback, 4:51 later. The Lady Flames fashioned a 14-4 surge during the span, culminating with LaKendra Washington’s first basket of the game, a driving layup at 9:51. Her conversion made the score 48-44, Auburn. Brown converted a lob pass by Amber Mays into a layup at the 4:19 mark, trimming the Lady Flames’ deficit to 57-54. A 5-0 Auburn spurt, finished off by KeKe Carrier’s foul shot at 1:38, increased the home team’s lead to 62-54. Brown then nailed back-to-back three-pointers from the left corner, sandwiching a Morgan Toles charity toss for the Tigers. Brown’s second trifecta, which came at the 50-second mark, closed the gap to 63-60.That was as close as Liberty got, though, as Auburn closed out the contest by making seven out of eight free throws.
