Liberty head women’s basketball coach Carey Green, beginning his 11th season with
the Lady Flames, has instilled quite a winning tradition during his tenure at the institution.
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 243-79 record on the Liberty bench, good for a winning
percentage of .755. 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 .917 (154-14) 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.

Scouting Cornell
Cornell is already halfway to equaling its win total from the 2008-09 season, after getting off to a 5-4 start. The Big Red have been victorious in four of their last six contests,
entering the Marriott Cavalier Classic.
Cornell is an excellent three-point shooting squad. In the most recent NCAA statistical
report, the Big Red ranked No. 6 nationally with a .431 three-point field goal percentage
and sat No. 10 in the nation with 8.3 made triples per contest.
Three senior guards are scoring in double figures for the Big Red, paced by Allie
Fedorowicz’s 14.8 ppg. Virginia McMunigal chips in with 12.8 ppg and ranks No. 4 in the
NCAA with a .543 three-point field goal percentage. Meanwhile, Lauren Benson posts
10.0 ppg and 6.4 apg (ranked No. 9 nationally).
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 243-79 career record and is the all-time wins leader at Liberty and among Big South
women’s basketball coaches. His career winning percentage (.755) ranked ninth all-time
among NCAA Division I women’s basketball coaches at the season’s outset. Green is 1-0
versus Cornell.
Cornell is coached by Dayna Smith, who owns a 77-122 record in eight seasons as
head coach. In 2007-08, she led the Big Red to their first-ever Ivy League championship.
The second-winningest coach in program history, Smith is 0-1 all-time versus Liberty.
Liberty-Cornell Series Notes
Liberty is 1-1 all-time versus Cornell. The teams’ most recent matchup was a memorable one, coming Dec. 30, 2003 in the championship game of the Lafayette Holiday
Tournament in Easton, Pa.
The Lady Flames and Big Red were tied, 63-63, before Katie Feenstra scored on an
inbounds play with 1.2 seconds remaining to give Liberty a dramatic, 65-63 victory and the
tournament title. The game-winning hoop capped a 28-point, eight-rebound performance
for Feenstra. Lauren Kilduff led Cornell with 20 points, six assists and four steals.
Liberty Versus the Ivy League
The Lady Flames are 2-2 versus the Ivy League in program history. In addition to Liberty’s 1-1 mark against Cornell, the Lady Flames own a 1-0 record versus Dartmouth and
are 0-1 against Harvard.
Liberty’s last three games against Ivy League opponents have been decided by a
total of 10 points. Thirty-one days prior to the Lady Flames’ 65-63 win over Cornell at the
2003 Lafayette Holiday Tournament, Liberty dropped a 75-73, double overtime contest to
Harvard at the Seminole Classic. The Lady Flames also defeated Dartmouth by a 75-69
count, Dec. 29, 1991.
Three of the Lady Flames’ all-time contests against Ivy League foes have come in
tournaments. Liberty defeated Ivy teams to claim titles at the 1991 Dartmouth Invitational
and the 2003 Lafayette Holiday Tournament.

Scouting Virginia
The 7-3 Virginia Cavaliers have been ranked in the Top 25 of both major polls throughout the 2009-10 season. Virginia currently sits No. 20 in the ESPN/USA Today Coaches
Top 25 and No. 23 in the AP Top 25 poll.
The Cavaliers and Lady Flames have faced one common opponent, James Madison.
The Dukes defeated Liberty at the Vines Center, 60-50 on Dec. 1. Five days later, JMU
handed Virginia a 75-73 setback at John Paul Jones Arena.
Monica Wright, a 5-11 guard, is Virginia’s only senior and the Cavaliers’ standout
player. A preseason first-team All-American, Wright ranks No. 5 nationally with 3.6 steals
per contest and sits No. 15 in the nation with 20.5 points per game. She became the third
Virginia player ever to reach the 2,000-career point plateau, Dec. 20 at Georgia.
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 243-79 career record and is the all-time wins leader at Liberty and among Big South
women’s basketball coaches. His career winning percentage (.755) ranked ninth all-time
among NCAA Division I women’s basketball coaches at the season’s outset. Green is 2-3
all-time versus the Cavaliers.
Debbie Ryan, a 2008 inductee into the Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame, is 706-301
in her 33th season as Virginia’s head coach. The Cavaliers’ season-opening win at UMBC
made her the seventh active NCAA Division I women’s basketball head coach to reach
700 wins. Ryan has guided the Cavaliers to 23 NCAA Tournament appearances and is 6-2
against Liberty.
Liberty-Virginia Series Notes
Virginia is 6-2 all-time against Liberty, but the Lady Flames have won two of their last
three contests against their in-state foe.
Liberty beat the Cavaliers, 75-71, Nov. 20, 2006, becoming the first visiting basketball
team (men’s or women’s) to win at John Paul Jones Arena. Megan Frazee paced the Lady
Flames with one of the best games of her career, including 37 points and 15 rebounds.
Liberty Versus the ACC
Liberty is 4-30 all-time versus the current ACC members. However, the Lady Flames
defeated Virginia Tech, 45-43, Dec. 30, 2008, in their most recent ACC matchup. That victory came in the Hokie Hardwood Classic title game at Cassell Coliseum.
The Lady Flames are 0-1 against Boston College, 0-3 against Duke, 0-2 against North
Carolina, 0-1 against N.C. State, 2-6 against Virginia, 1-14 against Virginia Tech and 1-3
against Wake Forest.
Liberty at John Paul Jones Arena
Liberty basketball teams own a combined 2-0 record at John Paul Jones Arena. The
Lady Flames claimed a 75-71 win on Nov. 20, 2006, and the Liberty men’s basketball
team defeated the Cavaliers, 86-82, on Nov. 25, 2008.

All-Time Record in December
The Lady Flames are 79-103 all-time in December contests, including 35-34 under
head coach Carey Green. Last season, Liberty went 4-3 during the calendar year’s final
month, highlighted by a tournament title at the Hokie Hardwood Classic.
Liberty, which is 1-2 to start this month, only has five games scheduled this December.
This marks the Lady Flames’ fewest games in the month since Liberty played four contests in December 2001.
Liberty Versus Nationally-Ranked Opponents
If Liberty faces No. 20/23 Virginia, it will be the Lady Flames’ first meeting with a Top
25 opponent since a 62-42 loss to No. 7 Louisville in the first round of the 2009 NCAA
Division I Tournament. Liberty was 0-3 versus Top 25 foes in 2008-09, dropping contests
to No. 13 Auburn, No. 19 Vanderbilt and No. 7 Louisville.
The Lady Flames have claimed four victories over nationally-ranked foes in program
history, including an overtime triumph over No. 25 Virginia on Nov. 26, 2002. Liberty’s
2004-05 “Sweet 16” qualifier posted three Top 25 wins. The Lady Flames won over No.
17 Kansas State (Dec. 4, 2004), No. 25 Penn State (March 20, 2005) and No. 19 DePaul
(March 22, 2005).
Competing Against the Commonwealth
Liberty is 0-1 against Commonwealth opponents in 2009-10, dropping a 60-50 home
contest to James Madison on Dec. 1. The Lady Flames could face another Commonwealth foe, Virginia, at the Marriott Cavalier Classic.
Later this season, Liberty is slated to meet Longwood (Jan. 12) and play a pair of
contests against Big South rival Radford (Feb. 1 and March 5).
A Tale of Two Halves
In Liberty’s most recent outing, the Lady Flames used a strong second-half effort to
nearly pull off a win at Auburn. After trailing 33-19 at the intermission, Liberty trimmed its
deficit to three points before falling, 70-64. The performance continued a season-long
trend for the Lady Flames.
Liberty has regularly stepped up its level of play during the final 20 minutes this season. The Lady Flames are outscoring opponents by an average score of 38.1-24.6 during
their first eight games.
Breaking the Rust
Liberty’s Marriott Cavalier Classic opener against Cornell will be their first game in 13
days. It’s the Lady Flames’ longest break since a 15-day gap between games in 2003-04
(Dec. 14-29, 2003). Liberty came back from that extended vacation to win the Lafayette
Holiday Tournament championship.
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 Dec. 20, the Lady Flames were ranked among the NCAA’s
top 25 teams in six statistical categories. Liberty is No. 5 in field goal percentage (.488),
No. 6 in both rebound margin (+11.8) and three-point field goal percentage defense (.223),
No. 7 in scoring defense (49.1 ppg), No. 9 in field goal percentage defense (.329) and No.
22 in scoring margin (+18.3).

Tournament Trends
Liberty has won the championship at four of its six regular-season tournaments since
the start of the 2007-08 campaign. The Lady Flames have claimed tournament hardware
at the 2007 National City Xavier Invitational, the 2007 UNLV Lady Rebel Christmas Classic, the 2008 Hokie Hardwood Classic and the 2009 Navy Classic.
The Lady Flames went on to win the Big South Championship title in both 2007-08
and 2008-09.
Clamping Down on Defense
The Lady Flames have held 92 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 eight opponents to 49.1 ppg
and 32.9 percent shooting from the field. The Lady Flames lead the Big South and rank in
the top 10 nationally in both categories.
Clamping Down on Defense, Part 2
Liberty limited Winston-Salem State to 26 points during its season-opening victory on
Nov. 13. It was the fewest points scored by a Lady Flames opponent since a 79-26 win
over Winthrop on Feb. 28, 2005. Liberty has now held four teams below the 30-point mark
in 11 seasons under Carey Green.
The Container is Half Full
This season, the Lady Flames are 3-0, when shooting 50 percent or higher from the
field. Liberty is now 62-0 under head coach Carey Green, when the Lady Flames sink at
least half of their field goals.
Liberty Versus Non-Conference Opposition
Liberty is 6-2 against non-conference opponents this season, boosting its all-time
non-conference ledger to 272-295. The Lady Flames have won 14 of their last 17 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 eight different conferences this season,
including 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.
Depending on how the Marriott Cavalier Classic plays out, the Lady Flames could
also square off with an ACC opponent (Virginia).
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. Through eight games, Liberty has outscored its opponents by an average margin of 42.3-15.3.
Most recently, the Lady Flames more than doubled up Auburn’s “points in the paint”
total on Dec. 15. Liberty scored 42 points in the paint to the Tigers’ 20.
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.

as the longest-tenured assistant coach in Liberty women’s basketball history. Porter is
now the head coach at George Mason.

Same Number, New Face
It may take a few games for Liberty fans to get used to seeing a new player wearing
the No. 40 uniform, after Megan Frazee donned the number for the last four seasons.
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., the Big South Player of the Week on Nov. 24, is averaging 19.3 ppg and 9.0 rpg, pacing the Lady Flames in both categories.

was born in London, England, giving Liberty international players on its roster for the 16th
consecutive season. The last time the Lady Flames’ roster consisted solely of Americanborn players was the 1993-94 campaign. Every Carey Green-coached team at Liberty has
featured at least one international player.

Gaining Some National Recognition
Liberty earned a single vote in the most recent ESPN/USA Today Coaches Top 25
Poll, released on Dec. 8, marking the second straight week the Lady Flames received a
vote.
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 191-52 (.786) all-time at the Vines Center,
including 10-2 last season.
The Lady Flames are 3-1 to start this year’s 15-game home schedule and are 99-10
in their last 109 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 seven of its first eight games this season,
by an average of 11.7 boards per contest. Leading the way are redshirt freshman Devon
Brown (9.0 rpg) and redshirt sophomore Avery Warley (7.9 rpg).
Lack of Overtime
Liberty has played only one overtime game in its last 187 outings, a 64-62 setback at
High Point on Jan. 20, 2007. Since that contest at the Millis Center, the Lady Flames have
played 86 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 eight games of the 2009-10 campaign, the Lady Flames’ freshmen and sophomores are accounting for 71.2 percent of the
team’s points and 75.2 percent of Liberty’s rebounds.
The Lady Flames’ top five rebounders are all either freshmen or sophomores, as are
four of the top five scorers.

Removing the Suspense
Liberty has not played in many tightly contested games so far this season. Only two
contests (Dec. 1 versus James Madison and Dec. 15 at Auburn) have been decided by
10 points or less. Through eight games, the Lady Flames have only experienced five total
ties and eight lead changes.
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.
Watch Out for Washington
After totaling 19 points during her first four collegiate games, freshman LaKendra
Washington exploded for 21 points at Lafayette on Nov. 28. The Milwaukee, Wis., native
and Devon Brown have both recorded 20-point outings as freshmen this season. This is
the first time since 2001-02, multiple Liberty rookies have recorded 20-point games. That
season, Katie Feenstra and Stephanie Walker accomplished the feat.
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).

Game 1
Lynchburg, Va.
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.
Winston-Salem State got no closer than 31
for the remainder of the contest, and the
Lady Flames went on to wrap up a 45-point
win, 71-26. It was the fewest points a Liberty
opponent has scored since the Lady Flames
limited Winthrop to 26 markers on Feb. 28,
2005.

Game 2
Lynchburg, Va.
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.

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.

Game 4
Annapolis, Md.
After falling behind by 16 points within the
game’s first eight minutes, Liberty came
back to win the Navy Classic championship
over host Navy, 55-43. Homestanding Navy
made seven of its first 10 field goal attempts,
opening up a 20-4 advantage to start the
game. Liberty then held Navy without a point
for nearly four and a half minutes. However,
the Lady Flames only managed a pair of Avery Warley layups during the home team’s
drought, cutting their deficit to 20-8 at the
7:55 mark of the opening half. A quick 5-0
burst, capped off by a second-chance layup
by LaKendra Washington, briefly brought
Liberty to within single digits, at 24-15, 5:43
before the intermission. The Midshipmen
bolstered their lead to 30-17, before Liberty
closed the stanza on a 7-2 run. The surge
featured Brown’s first five points of the
evening, including a three-pointer from the
right wing as the halftime buzzer sounded.
Her triple made the score 32-24, Navy, at
the break. Liberty’s defense held Navy to
one made field goal during the first 11:45 of
the second half. In the meantime, the Lady
Flames composed a 20-3 run, taking their
initial lead of the contest when Dymond
Morgan drained a runner as the shot clock
expired at 12:20. Her clutch hoop made the
score 36-35, Liberty. Brown tallied 10 points
during the extended surge, including an acrobatic layup at the 8:31 mark which lifted
the Lady Flames’ advantage to 44-35. Navy
trimmed Liberty’s lead to 46-41 with 4:41
left, after three-pointers by Erin Edwards
and Consedine. The Midshipmen were also
within five, 48-43, when Angela Myers converted a steal into a fast break layup at 1:27.
However, Navy did not score again, and the
Lady Flames closed out their win by making
seven-of-nine free throws during the final
minute.

Lafayette (1-5)

LaKendra Washington’s career-high 21
points paced four Liberty players in double figures at Lafayette, helping the Lady
Flames record an impressive 90-55 road
victory over the Leopards. 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.
Lafayette got no closer than 17 the rest of
the game, and Liberty remained unbeaten
with a 90-55 triumph in its first-ever meeting
with the Leopards.

Game 6
Lynchburg, Va.
Points came at a premium in a matchup between two unbeaten Commonwealth women’s basketball teams at the Vines Center.
In the end, visiting James Madison held off
Liberty for a 60-50 victory. 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. The Lady Flames then limited
the Dukes to one made field goal over the
next 9:50, enabling homestanding Liberty to
compose an 11-2 run. Avery Warley split a
pair of free throws at the 10:05 mark of the
period, shaving JMU’s lead to 38-33. Tarik
Hislop swished a long triple, capping the
Dukes’ ensuing 9-2 surge. Her long-distance
connection gave James Madison a 47-35
edge with 7:17 remaining. Liberty made one
more charge at JMU, when four consecutive points by Warley narrowed the visitors’
advantage to 50-46 at 2:54. However, the
Dukes were able to put the game away by
scoring the next six points over a 2:13 span,
including four from the foul line.

Game 7
Lynchburg, Va.
Eight Lady Flames scored at least six points
in an 86-45 rout of Division II Glenville State.
Liberty grabbed a Vines Center-record 67
rebounds and racked up 64 points in the
paint. The Lady Flames jumped out to a 7-0
lead within the first 1:58 of play, with Devon
Brown contributing five of the points. Liberty’s advantage reached eight points, before
blue-clad Glenville State pulled to within 1411 with a 5-0 burst. Beth Deren’s three-pointer from the left corner at 14:21 capped off the
visitors’ surge. The Lady Flames then limited
the high-scoring Pioneers to two points over
the next eight minutes, tallying a 12-2 run
during the span. Dymond Morgan split a pair
of free throws, 7:39 before the break, giving
Liberty a 26-13 edge. Three-pointers by Miranda Reed and Ginny Petties highlighted
Glenville State’s ensuing 10-3 surge. Petties’
triple at the 3:35 mark closed the gap to 2923. Brown then scored seven points during
the Lady Flames’ 10-0, half-ending burst.
The surge bolstered Liberty’s halftime lead
to 39-23. Liberty scored the first six points of
the second half, extending its overall run to
16-0. Back-to-back layups by Brown pushed
the Lady Flames’ advantage to 22 points, at
45-23. Four straight Glenville State tallies
trimmed the Pioneers’ deficit to 18, 45-27,
with 16:51 remaining on the second-half
clock. Layups by Avery Warley bookended
a 9-0 Liberty run, which enabled the Lady
Flames to double up Glenville State’s score
once again, at 54-27. The Pioneers never
got any closer than 24 points down for the remainder of the game. Liberty’s lead reached
42 points, before the Lady Flames closed
out their second 40-point home win of the
season, 86-45.
Game 8
Auburn, Ala.
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.
