Jamie Hall at Liberty LADY FLAMES (5-1, 0-0 Big South) Lynchburg, Va. - Vines Center - 4 p.m. The Game Saturday’s contest will present a contrast in styles, when Liberty (5-1, 0-0 Big South) hosts Glenville State (3-1, 0-0 WVIAC). The Lady Flames yield only 46.3 ppg, but the Pioneers are averaging 99.2 ppg so far this season. Tipoff is scheduled for 4 p.m. at the Vines Center. Last Time Out Liberty dropped its first contest of the 2009-10 season Tuesday at the Vines Center, in a defensive struggle between unbeaten teams. Visiting James Madison held off the Lady Flames’ late rally to claim a 60-50 win, snapping Liberty’s 12-game home winning streak. Amber Mays tied a career high with 14 points for the Lady Flames. On Deck Liberty will not play again for 10 days, as final exams approach. The Lady Flames will return to action Dec. 15 at 7 p.m., when they make their first-ever visit to Auburn. Last season, the undefeated Tigers claimed a hard-fought 64-53 win at the Vines Center.

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 242-78 record on the Liberty bench, good for a winning percentage of .756. 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.

The 3-1 Pioneers are averaging 99.2 ppg and 12.0 made threepointers per contest. Seven Pioneers are averaging at least 8.0 ppg, headlined by 5-7 guard Donita Adams. The team’s only senior notches 22.3 ppg, 6.3 rpg and 2.5 spg. Junior Kristen Golden, a 6-2 post player, is posting double-double numbers of 13.5 ppg and a team-high 10.3 rpg. Ginny Petties, a 5-7 freshman guard, has already connected on 13 triples and is shooting 59.2 percent from beyond the arc. 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 242-78 career record and is the all-time wins leader at Liberty and among Big South women’s basketball coaches. His career winning percentage (.756) ranked ninth all-time among NCAA Division I women’s basketball coaches at the season’s outset. Green is 1-0 versus Glenville State. Bunky Harkleroad is 3-1 in his first season as Glenville State’s head coach, after spending nine years coaching his alma mater, Berea. Harkleroad, who was a four-time Kentucky Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (KIAC) Coach of the Year while at Berea, owns a 171-94 career mark in 10 seasons. Liberty-Glenville State Series Notes Liberty is 1-0 versus Glenville State, after claiming a 66-54 victory in the teams’ only previous meeting on the hardwood, Dec. 15, 2007 at the Vines Center. Sisters Megan and Moriah Frazee combined for 29 points, pacing the victorious Lady Flames. Donita Adams and Karina Kendrick scored 13 points apiece to share team-high honors for the Pioneers. Liberty Versus the West Virginia Intercollegiate Athletic Conference The Lady Flames own a 10-13 all-time record versus the current members of the West Virginia Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (WVIAC). However, Saturday’s game will be only Liberty’s second matchup against a WVIAC opponent since the Lady Flames joined the NCAA Division I ranks in 1988-89. Liberty is 1-0 against the WVIAC as a Division I team. Liberty is 1-1 versus Alderson-Broaddus, 4-2 versus Bluefield State, 0-1 versus Concord, 3-1 versus Davis & Elkins, 1-0 versus Glenville State and 1-8 versus Pitt-Johnstown. Triple Digits Uncommon Glenville State has tallied 100 or more points in three straight contests. However, Liberty has not reached triple digits very frequently in program history. The Lady Flames’ 10029 home win over Virginia Union on Nov. 30, 2007 is Liberty’s only 100-point out under Carey Green. The Lady Flames have only scored 100 points three times in 22 seasons as Division I squad. Liberty................................Statistical Comparison...................

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 0-1 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. Fast Start Liberty’s 5-1 start matches the second-best start to a season in program history. Five other Lady Flames squads have won five of their first six games, including the 1975-76, 1983-84, 1996-97, 2006-07 and 2007-08 teams. The 1997-98 Liberty squad won 28 consecutive games to open the season, remaining unbeaten until suffering a loss to Tennessee in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. 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. Her point total was notable for several reasons. -- 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. 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 Tuesday. The freshman guard was named the Big South Freshman of the Week, marking the second consecutive week a Liberty rookie has been 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). National Statistical Rankings Through the contests of Nov. 29, the Lady Flames were ranked among the NCAA’s top 15 teams in four different statistical categories. Liberty was No. 5 in scoring defense (43.6 ppg), No. 6 in field goal percentage (.502), No. 10 in rebound margin (+12.4) and No. 11 in scoring margin (+24.2). Stuck in the 60s Even though Liberty dropped its first game of the season Tuesday evening, 60-50 to James Madison, the Lady Flames extended an impressive streak. Liberty has now held 33 consecutive opponents below the 70-point mark, since JMU recorded a 77-64 win over the Lady Flames on Dec. 2, 2008.

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 six opponents to 46.3 ppg and 34.1 percent shooting from the field. The Lady Flames lead the Big South 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 2-0, when shooting 50 percent or higher from the field. Liberty is now 61-0 under head coach Carey Green, when the Lady Flames sink at least half of their field goals. Liberty Versus Non-Conference Opposition Liberty is 5-1 against non-conference opponents this season, boosting its all-time non-conference ledger to 271-294. The Lady Flames have won 13 of their last 16 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 six games, Liberty has outscored its opponents by an average margin of 38.7-15.3. Keeping Good Company Liberty finished the 2008-09 season ranked in the top 10 nationally in four statistical categories. The Lady Flames ended up No. 2 in both scoring defense (52.6 ppg allowed) and rebound margin (+12.7). They were also No. 6 in field goal percentage defense (.345) and No. 10 in field goal percentage (.456). Liberty has now ranked as one of the nation’s top five teams for rebounding margin for six consecutive seasons. The only other NCAA Division I women’s basketball team to end up in the top 10 of those four statistical categories last year was undefeated national champion Connecticut. 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. Liberty’s Record ...

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 19.2 ppg and 9.2 rpg, pacing the Lady Flames in both categories.

However, Liberty has won 14 consecutive Big South home games since UNC Asheville defeated the Lady Flames at the Vines Center by a 54-51 score on Feb. 24, 2007. 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 190-52 (.785) all-time at the Vines Center, including 10-2 last season. The Lady Flames are 2-1 to start this year’s 15-game home schedule and are 98-10 in their last 108 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 each of its first six games this season, by an average of 11.2 boards per contest. Leading the way are redshirt freshman Devon Brown (9.2 rpg) and redshirt sophomore Avery Warley (8.5 rpg). Lack of Overtime Liberty has played only one overtime game in its last 185 outings, a 64-62 setback at High Point on Jan. 20, 2007. Since that contest at the Millis Center, the Lady Flames have played 84 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 six games of the 2009-10 campaign, the Lady Flames’ freshmen and sophomores are accounting for 70.2 percent of the team’s points and 75.4 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. Top 50 Rebounders in Liberty History 1. Katie Feenstra 2. Sharon Snodgrass 3.

Liberty claimed nine of 20 first-place votes and earned 160 total points, which was the same point total the Panthers received. 2009-10 Big South Women’s Basketball Preseason All-Conference Team Jurica Hargraves, High Point, Jr., G - Preseason Player of the Year Mackenzie Maier, High Point, Jr., F Margaret Roundtree, Gardner-Webb, Sr., F Dominique Hudson, Gardner-Webb, Jr., G Kymesha Alston, Radford, R-Sr., F 2009-10 Big South Preseason Poll Team (First-Place Votes) Total Points 1T) Liberty (9) 160 1T) High Point (7) 160 3) Gardner-Webb (4) 147 4) Coastal Carolina 101 5) Charleston Southern 86 6) Winthrop 84 7) Radford 80 8) UNC Asheville 57 9) Presbyterian 25 Wanted for Theft The Lady Flames ranked only sixth in the Big South in steals last season, averaging 7.9 steals per contest. This season, an active, aggressive Liberty defense ranked No. 20 nationally with an average of 12.2 steals per contest, through the year’s first five games. As expected, senior point guard Amber Mays is the Lady Flames’ chief thief so far, with 18 steals. She recorded a team-high 68 steals a year ago. Mays is also getting considerable assistance from Devon Brown (11 steals) and LaKendra Washington (10). Regular-Season Tournament Success The Lady Flames won the Navy Classic championship, Nov. 20-21 in Annapolis, Md. It was Liberty’s fourth regular-season tournament title in the past three seasons, including the 2007 National City Xavier Invitational, the 2007 Lady Rebel Christmas Classic and the 2008 Hokie Hardwood Classic. Setting the Tone Early Liberty shut down its first three opponents at the defensive end, immediately from the opening tipoff. During the first 10 minutes of each game, the Lady Flames only yielded a total of five made field goals. This defensive pressure enabled Liberty to start the game with a 13-0 lead over Winston-Salem State, a 16-4 advantage against UNC Greensboro, and a 24-4 lead versus Tulane. 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. See You in a Month Saturday’s game versus Glenville State will be Liberty’s final contest at the Vines Center for a month. By the time the Lady Flames come back home to host North Carolina A&T on Jan. 5, they will have played games in three different states (Alabama, North Carolina and Virginia) and opened Big South Conference play.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Game 5 Liberty (5-0) 90 November 28, 2009 Lafayette (1-5) 55 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.

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.
