Game No. 23 - Feb. 16, 2009
Winthrop LADY EAGLES
(12-11, 6-4 Big South)
at
Liberty LADY FLAMES
(15-7, 9-0 Big South)
Lynchburg, Va. - Vines Center - 7 p.m.
The Game
The Liberty Lady Flames (15-7, 9-0 Big South) welcome one of the Big South’s hottest
teams, Winthrop (12-11, 6-4 Big South), to the Vines Center for a 7 p.m. contest, Monday
night. The Eagles have won five games in a row. Monday’s game will be Liberty’s WBCA
Pink Zone contest, part of a nationwide initiative to increase breast cancer awareness.
What to Watch
Both teams bring extended winning streaks into Monday night’s tilt, as Liberty has
won 12 games in a row and Winthrop has been victorious in five straight contests.
A victory by the Lady Flames in Monday’s game would be No. 500 in program history
and would clinch Liberty’s 13th consecutive winning season.
Winthrop was the last Big South team to defeat Liberty, taking down the Lady Flames
by a 56-52 margin at the Winthrop Coliseum on Feb. 27, 2008.
Liberty will aim to wrap up a regular-season sweep of Winthrop, after notching a
come-from-behind, 55-51 win over the Eagles, Jan. 10 at the Winthrop Coliseum.

Head Coach Carey Green
Record at Liberty: 228-75 (10th Year)
Career Record: Same
Eight Big South Championships: 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2008
Eight NCAA Appearances: 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005 (Sweet 16), 2006, 2008
Four-time Big South Coach of the Year: 2000, 2003, 2006, 2008
Three-time VaSID State Coach of the Year: 2003, 2005, 2006
Liberty head women’s basketball coach Carey Green, in his 10th 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 during his time at Liberty, putting his
name alongside the nation’s premier women’s basketball coaches.
Green has accumulated a 228-75 record on the Liberty bench, good for a winning
percentage of .752. He entered the season ranked 10th among active 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 eight times with Green as head coach. Liberty has totaled 23 or more
victories during seven 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 20 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 20 appearances, he has experienced the NCAA Tournament.
Last season, Green led the Lady Flames to one of the best seasons in program history. Liberty tied a school record for victories, finishing the year 28-4. Along the way, the
Lady Flames captured three tournament titles—the National City Xavier Invitational, the
UNLV Lady Rebel Christmas Classic and their eighth Big South Championship in Green’s
nine years as head coach. The latter championship earned Liberty a spot in the NCAA
Tournament for the 11th time. Green won his 200th career game, Jan. 19 at Charleston
Southern, and became the first four-time Big South Women’s Basketball Coach of the
Year in conference history.
Rebounding and defense have always been staples of Green-coached teams, and
the 2007-08 Lady Flames were no exception. Liberty outrebounded opponents by an average of 10.2 caroms per game, ranking fifth nationally. The Lady Flames have now been
listed among the nation’s top five teams in rebounding margin for five-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 15 in the nation for field goal percentage defense (fourth) and
scoring defense (15th).
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 record-setting victory was just one of the many reasons the 2004-05 year was a
special one on Liberty Mountain. A senior-laden 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, 21st (USA Today/ESPN).
Green’s track record shows he has the ability to meet strong 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 .918 (145-13) winning
percentage against conference teams. Green has marched through conference play with
one or fewer setbacks six times, while guiding the Lady Flames to two undefeated conference seasons.

Scouting Winthrop
After battling some adversity throughout the early part of the season, a veteran Winthrop squad has hit its stride. The Eagles have posted five straight victories, climbing up
to third place in the Big South standings after a comfortable 63-49 road win at Radford on
Saturday.
Winthrop boasts eight juniors and seniors on its roster, and the Eagles’ experienced
players have been leading the way of late. Ashley Fann, a 6-0 senior forward, was selected to the Big South preseason all-conference team and has lived up to her billing. Fann is
averaging a double-double (11.9 ppg, 10.7 rpg) in conference play and is the Big South’s
leading rebounder on the season, hauling in 8.9 rpg.
The Eagles also rely on the outside shooting of Tiffany Rodd, a 6-0 senior guard.
Rodd, averaging 9.4 ppg, has made 237 career triples. She needs a pair of three-pointers
to tie the Big South career record and a trio of treys to eclipse the mark of 2004 Coastal
Carolina graduate Nikki Redick.
The Coaching Matchup
Liberty Head Coach Carey Green is in his 10th season with the Lady Flames, and has
led his team to eight Big South titles. A four-time Big South Coach of the Year, Green owns
a 228-75 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 10th among
active NCAA Division I women’s basketball coaches at the season’s outset. Green is 21-1
all-time against Winthrop.
Bud Childers is 54-90 in his fifth season as Winthrop’s head coach and is 429-329 in
27 total seasons as a collegiate head coach. Childers has also coached at Cumberland
College, Montevallo, Murray State, Louisville and James Madison. He was named 1997
Conference USA Coach of the Year and 2000 CAA Coach of the Year. Childers is 2-10
all-time versus Liberty.
Liberty-Winthrop Series Notes
Liberty owns a 35-7 lead in its all-time head-to-head series against Winthrop, including a 55-51, come-from-behind triumph in the teams’ first meeting of the 2008-09 season.
Liberty trailed Winthrop by six points with less than five minutes remaining, Jan. 10
at the Winthrop Coliseum. The Lady Flames then closed the game on a 14-4 run to claim
a hard-fought win. Avery Warley’s offensive rebound and putback with 30.0 seconds remaining gave the visitors a lead they did not relinquish. Megan Frazee paced all players
with 20 points and seven boards, while a trio of Eagles tallied 11 points apiece (Shanice
Cole, Yvonne van Daalen and Jennifer Walker).
The Lady Flames had won 25 consecutive games against the Eagles, before Winthrop pulled out a 56-52 victory over Liberty at the Winthrop Coliseum, on Feb. 27, 2008.
Winthrop’s triumph that evening was the last time a Big South team has defeated the Lady
Flames. Liberty is currently on a 13-game winning streak versus conference opponents.
Ashley Fann, the fourth-leading scorer in Winthrop history with 1,447 points, has been
held to single digits in each of her last three meetings with Liberty.

Fabulous in February
Liberty has won 87 of its last 92 games played during the month of February, dating
back to the 1997 Big South Championship. The only teams to defeat the Lady Flames in
February since then are High Point (three times), UNC Asheville and Winthrop.
Liberty owns a 168-121 all-time mark during the year’s second month, including a
68-5 record under Carey Green. The Lady Flames went 6-1 in February last season and
have six February contests on the schedule in 2008-09. Liberty is 2-0 so far this month.
Marvelous on Monday
The Lady Flames are 5-1 this season, when playing on Monday. Liberty’s victories on
the first day of the week feature a 72-58 triumph over North Carolina A&T in the opening
round of the Hokie Hardwood Classic, on Dec. 29. The MEAC-leading Aggies are 13-1
since that evening.
Most recently, Liberty snapped Gardner-Webb’s nine-game home winning streak with
a 58-51 decision at Paul Porter Arena on Feb. 9. The Lady Flames’ other three Monday
triumphs saw them defeat conference foes UNC Asheville, Coastal Carolina and Radford
by an average of 31.3 ppg.
Liberty’s only Monday setback was a 67-50 loss at No. 19/20 Vanderbilt on Dec. 22.
Recipe For Success
Liberty has won 12 consecutive games, and the following are a few keys the Lady
Flames’ success.
-- All 12 opponents have been held below 60 points.
-- All 11 opponents have shot below 45 percent from the field.
-- Liberty has outrebounded 11 of 12 opponents by 11 boards or more.
-- Megan Frazee has averaged 19.3 ppg and 9.6 rpg, since returning from an ankle injury
which sidelined her for eight games.
-- Liberty is shooting 35.9 percent from three-point range and averaging 4.3 triples per
contest, as compared with 27.5 percent and 2.8 triples per game before the streak.
-- Liberty is scoring 14.2 more points in the paint than its opponents, on average.
Long-Range Bombers
Megan Frazee, ranked ninth on Liberty’s career list with 90 triples, has hit 15 of her
last 28 from downtown (53.6 percent).
Rachel Hammond, whose 67 career three-pointers tie her for 14th on the list, has also
connected on 15 of her last 28 three-point attempts (53.6 percent). Hammond made a
program-record nine consecutive triples without a miss, between Jan. 24-31.
Hammond made five treys against High Point on Jan. 31, marking the first time a Lady
Flame has connected on five three-pointers in a single game since Dec. 15, 2001, when
Daina Staugaitiene did so at Hampton.
Hot-Shooting Hammond
Senior Rachel Hammond was tabbed the Big South Player of the Week on Feb. 2, for
the first time in her career. She averaged 16.5 ppg and 5.0 rpg during Liberty’s victories
over Coastal Carolina and High Point to garner the honor. Hammond shot 77.8 percent
(7-of-9) from three-point range for the week, with five of her triples coming during a careerbest 25-point outburst against High Point (Jan. 31).
A Little Breathing Room
Liberty has won five straight games, all Big South contests, by 23 points or more, between Jan. 19 and Feb. 2. For the season, the Lady Flames are winning their conference
games by an average of 19.6 ppg.
It was only the second time in program history Liberty won five straight games by
more than 20 points. The 2004-05 Lady Flames defeated five straight opponents by more
than 20 points, from Feb. 28-March 12, 2005.
Dating back to last season, Liberty has won 13 straight games against conference
opposition, with the victories coming by an average of 18.2 ppg.

2008-09 Opponents in Bold
Coach Green Versus the Big South
Liberty head coach Carey Green has enjoyed considerable success versus the Big
South during his first nine seasons with the Lady Flames. His teams are 145-13 against
Big South opponents, including 121-12 in the regular season and 24-1 in the Big South
Championship.
Green has never lost to his alma mater, Coastal Carolina (22-0), or Charleston Southern (21-0) during his time at Liberty.
First Since Feenstra
When Rachel Hammond tallied a career-high 25 points against High Point on Jan. 31,
she became the first Liberty player not named Frazee to score 20 points in a game since
March 22, 2005. That day, Katie Feenstra went for 29 points against DePaul, sending the
Lady Flames into the NCAA Tournament’s Sweet 16.
Turning Up the Heat in the Furnace
The 2008-09 campaign is the 17th season the Liberty University women’s basketball
team has called the Vines Center its full-time home. Liberty’s first-ever contest at the Vines
Center was an 86-74 loss to East Tennessee State, on Dec. 7, 1990, but the “Furnace”
has served as a favorable venue for the Lady Flames over the years. Liberty is 185-51
(.784) all-time at the Vines Center, including 13-0 last season. The Lady Flames, 7-2 at
the Vines Center in 2008-09, have 12 home games scheduled this season.
Dial Three Digits for Long Distance
The Lady Flames have been able to continue a long-standing streak, so far this
season. The Lady Flames have made at least one three-pointer in a school-record 125
straight games, a run which began on Feb. 26, 2005. None of the current Lady Flames
were in college when the streak started.
Dial Three Digits for Long Distance, Part 2
Megan Frazee made Liberty’s only three-pointer at Gardner-Webb on Feb. 9, increasing her personal streak to nine straight games with a triple. Her streak is the longest by a
Lady Flame since Agne Jasinskaite made a three-pointer in 12 straight contests, spanning
Dec. 4, 2002 and Jan. 18, 2003.
Winning Streaks
The Lady Flames are currently on an 12-game winning streak, as they have not lost a
game since falling at No. 19/20 Vanderbilt on Dec. 22.
The streak is tied for the seventh longest in program history. Here is a look at the Lady
Flames’ longest winning streaks, eight of which have come with Carey Green as head
coach.

Welcome to the Club
Senior Moriah Frazee drained a pair of free throws with 14:56 remaining in the second
half of Liberty’s Jan. 24 game against Charleston Southern. The foul shots gave Frazee
1,000 points, making her the 12th player in program history to reach the milestone.
Frazee’s sister Megan is also a member of the 1,000-point club, as are twin sisters
Sarah and Sharon Wilkerson, who graduated in 2000. Liberty is the only NCAA Division I
women’s basketball program featuring multiple sets of sisters in the 1,000-point club.

Lady Flames Excel in the Classroom, Take Two
Liberty has received national recognition numerous times for its work in the classroom. Last season, the Lady Flames tallied a 3.354 GPA, ranking 14th in the Women’s
Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA) Top 25 Team Honor Roll.
It was the third straight season and the fifth time in program history that Liberty has
been included in the Top 25 Team Honor Roll. The Lady Flames were listed a programbest seventh in 2006-07 and tied for 14th in 2005-06. Liberty was rated 13th in 1999-2000,
which was Carey Green’s first season as head coach, and came in 12th during the 199899 campaign.
Liberty was one of only three teams to be included in last season’s WBCA Top 25
Honor Roll and play in the NCAA Tournament, joining Kansas State and New Mexico.

Home Wreckers
Liberty became the first visiting team to come away from Gardner-Webb’s Paul Porter
Arena with a win, posting a 58-51 victory over the Bulldogs on Feb. 9. Gardner-Webb had
won its first nine home games of the season.
Last season, the Lady Flames won in difficult venues like North Carolina A&T’s Corbett Sports Center and Xavier’s Cintas Center. Liberty was the only visiting team to win at
North Carolina A&T in 2007-08, and the Aggies have won 17 straight home games since
that Nov. 16, 2007 contest.
Nation’s Longest Winning Streaks
Liberty has won 12 games in a row, which was tied for the sixth-longest current winning streak among NCAA Division I women’s basketball games, entering the weekend.
No. 1 Connecticut has won a nation-best 24 consecutive games.
Liberty in the National Rankings
During Liberty’s winning streak, the Lady Flames have been surging upward in the
NCAA national statistical rankings. Liberty now ranks in the top 15 nationally in three statistical categories. The Lady Flames are listed No. 3 in rebounding margin (+11.6), No. 9
and field goal percentage defense (.344) and No. 12 in scoring defense (53.3 ppg).
Liberty and No. 19/21 Xavier are the only two teams in the nation which rank in the top
15 of all three of those categories.
On a Record Pace
Liberty is yielding just 53.3 ppg and has held 10 opponents below the 50-point mark.
The Lady Flames’ stifling defense is among the best in program history. Liberty’s all-time
record for scoring defense in a season is 54.7 ppg, set in 2001-02.
Reaching the Century Mark
Moriah Frazee made the 100th start of her career on Jan. 24, making her the first
Lady Flame with 100 starts since 2000 graduates Elena Kisseleva (program-record 117
career starts) and Sharon Wilkerson (107).
Start Me Up
Liberty has used five different starting lineups in the first 22 games of the season. Moriah Frazee, Rachel Hammond and Avery Warley have been the only three Lady Flames
to start every contest.
The Lady Flames’ most recent lineup, consisting of Moriah Frazee, Hammond, Warley, Amber Mays and Megan Frazee, is a perfect 12-0.
Lack of Overtime
Liberty has played only one overtime game in its last 168 outings, a 64-62 setback at
High Point on Jan. 20, 2007.
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.
The Container is Half Full
Liberty connected on 54.3 percent (25-of-46) of its field goal attempts at GardnerWebb on Feb. 9, shooting over 50 percent for the fourth time in the last five games. The
Lady Flames are 5-0 this year, when making more than half of their field goals.
The Lady Flames went 9-0 last season when shooting 50 percent or higher, and Liberty is now 54-0 in such contests under head coach Carey Green.
Big South Win Streak
The Lady Flames have defeated 13 consecutive Big South opponents.

Playing with a Lead
Liberty has not trailed often during its last seven games. The Lady Flames led five of
those contests from wire to wire, and their opponents have held the lead for only 3:28 of
the last 280 minutes of action.
A Boost from the Bench
Liberty’s bench was a short one for a good portion of the year, as the Lady Flames
battled the injury bug. Since Rebecca Lightfoot returned from injury, though, the bench
has played a key role in the Lady Flames’ success.
Liberty’s bench has outscored its opponent’s bench in seven of the nine games since
Lightfoot’s return, helping the Lady Flames win each of those contests. This season, Liberty is 10-2 when its reserves score more points than the opponent’s bench performers.
Chief Thiefs
Starting guards Amber Mays and Rachel Hammond have been keys to Liberty’s defensive efforts, as they rank sixth and seventh, respectively, on the Big South steals leaderboard.
Mays has notched 26 steals in the past nine games, including a career-high eightsteal effort versus East Tennessee State on Jan. 13. Her eight steals were the most by a
Lady Flame since Sharon Wilkerson recorded eight thefts at High Point on Feb. 21, 2000.
Mays tied for the fifth-most steals in a single game in Liberty history.
Four more steals will make Mays the first Liberty player since Sharon Wilkerson in
1999-2000 to record 50 steals in a season.
Meanwhile, Hammond has been a consistent disruptive force on defense this season,
tallying multiple steals in 12 of the first 22 games. As a result, the senior has already established a career high with 37 steals.
Triple the Trouble
Liberty sports the only set of triplets currently playing for the same NCAA Division
I women’s basketball team--seniors Megan, Molly and Moriah Frazee. Career totals of
1,000 points and 500 rebounds represent a very solid collegiate performer. The Frazee
triplets have averaged more than 1,000 points and 500 rebounds between them.
During Liberty’s Jan. 3 victory over Gardner-Webb, the triplets exceeded the 3,000-career point total. Megan, Molly and Moriah Frazee have totaled 3,277 points and 1,706 rebounds during their time at Liberty. Those figures represent more than 40 percent of the
Lady Flames’ points and more than a third of the team’s rebounds since they arrived on
campus.
Miss Consistency
Megan Frazee has scored in double figures in each of her last 58 games, dating back
to Jan. 27, 2007. It is the longest such streak of her career and the second longest ever
by a Liberty player. Elena Kisseleva owns the program record, tallying 10 or more points
in 62 straight contests, spanning the 1996-97, 1997-98 and 1998-99 seasons.
Chasing Another Record
Megan Frazee has posted seven double-doubles this season, including one in each
of her last three outings, pushing her career total to 45. Katie Feenstra owns the program
record, with 49 career double-doubles.
Clamping Down on Defense
The Lady Flames have held 73 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.
Liberty is off to a good start defensively in 2008-09. Sixteen of the Lady Flames’ first
22 opponents have shot below 40 percent from the floor. Liberty leads the Big South and
ranks No. 9 nationally with a .344 opponents field goal percentage.
The Lady Flames are 14-2 this season when their opponents shoot under 40 percent
from the field, but 1-5 when their foes make at least 40 percent of their field goal tries.

International Flavor
The addition of Tokyo, Japan native Jessica Nelson to the Lady Flames’ roster gives
Liberty an international player for the 15th consecutive season. The last time the Lady
Flames’ roster consisted solely of American-born players was the 1993-94 campaign. Every Carey Green-coached team at Liberty has featured at least one international player.
Nearing a Milestone
Liberty is 499-403 all-time in women’s basketball, since the inception of the program
in 1975-76. As a result, the Lady Flames sit only one win shy of the 500-victory milestone.
Here is a look at some of Liberty’s previous milestone triumphs.

In Good Company
On Jan. 26, Megan Frazee was honored as Big South Women’s Basketball Player of
the Week. It was the third time the senior has captured the award this season and was her
15th career weekly conference honor.
Frazee is now tied with former Liberty standout Katie Feenstra for the most Big South
Player of the Week awards captured during a career, in conference history.
Cranking Up the Defense
Liberty has played exceptional defense during its current 12-game winning streak.
The Lady Flames have held North Carolina A&T, Virginia Tech, Gardner-Webb, Coastal
Carolina, High Point and Radford all to season-low point totals during the stretch. Liberty’s
12 foes have scored only 47.2 ppg against Liberty and have combined to shoot just 31.8
percent from the field.
Winning the Battle of the Boards
The Lady Flames have outrebounded 18 teams in their first 22 games of the season. Only three teams (Western Carolina, James Madison and Winthrop) have won the
rebounding battle against Liberty this season, as the Lady Flames lead the Big South
Conference with a +11.6 rebounding margin.
Liberty, which currently ranks No. 3 nationally for rebounding margin, has finished in
the top five nationally in the category for five consecutive seasons. The Lady Flames led
the nation in rebounding margin during both the 2003-04 and 2004-05 campaigns.
Down, But Not Out
On Jan. 13, East Tennessee State ran out to an early seven-point advantage at the
Vines Center, before Liberty rallied for a 64-54 win. It was the fifth time the Lady Flames
have erased a six-point deficit to win this season (also UC Riverside, North Carolina A&T,
Virginia Tech and Winthrop).
Liberty’s largest rally of the season came on Dec. 30, in the Hokie Hardwood Classic
title game against Virginia Tech. The Hokies led by eight points midway through the second half, but the Lady Flames came back to notch a 45-43 triumph.
Less Than a Point Per Minute
Liberty held Radford to 15 first-half points on Feb. 2, marking the sixth time this season, the Lady Flames have limited their opponent to fewer than 20 first-half markers.
Liberty has gone on to win all six contests.
During the Lady Flames’ current winning streak, they have outscored their opponents
by an average score of 31.3 to 21.3 in the first half.
Locked In
Megan Frazee has made an incredible 71.9 percent (23-of-32) of her field goals during the last two games, boosting her season field goal percentage to a career-high .525.

Game 1
Lynchburg, Va.
Liberty battled back from a 21-4 deficit in
its season opener to take a pair of secondhalf leads. However, visiting VCU edged
the Lady Flames, 59-57, in a first-round
Preseason WNIT contest, as Radoslava
Bachvarova drained three free throws with
just 2.1 seconds left. VCU tallied the evening’s first 12 points, before Megan Frazee
canned a one-handed floater from six feet,
at the 14:10 mark of the opening half. The
Rams later notched nine straight points,
bolstering their advantage to 21-4 at 10:48.
Liberty limited VCU to one field goal over the
final 4:20 of the opening stanza, running off
an 11-2 surge in the meantime and closing
the gap to 31-27 at the intermission. Megan
Frazee finally gave Liberty its initial lead of
the contest, 45-44, draining a three-pointer
from the right wing at the 11:02 mark. The
Lady Flames’ next lead did not come until
4:30 remained on the game clock, when Megan Frazee found Avery Warley for an open
layup. Warley’s basket was part of a 7-0
Liberty burst. Megan Frazee’s reverse layup
at 3:11 capped the run, increasing the Lady
Flames’ lead to 54-51. VCU came back to tie
things up again, 54-54, when Quanitra Hollingsworth split a pair of free throws with 2:18
remaining, setting the stage for a frenetic final minute of play. Mays put Liberty on top,
56-54, with a driving layup at the 44-second
mark, before Hollingsworth answered with a
hoop from in close, 10 seconds later. Warley went to the free throw line on the Lady
Flames’ ensuing possession, splitting a pair
of free throws with 6.4 seconds remaining.
Her connection briefly put Liberty in front,
57-56, before Bachvarova’s clutch charity
tosses for the Rams.

Game 2
Cullowhee, N.C.
Megan Frazee banked in a layup from the
left side of the lane as the buzzer sounded,
giving the Lady Flames a thrilling, 45-44 win
over UC Riverside in a Preseason WNIT
consolation contest at the Ramsey Center in
Cullowhee, N.C. The Highlanders had taken
a 44-43 advantage with just 3.3 seconds left,
when Alyssa Morris made a tightly-contested
three-pointer from the right wing. Her hoop
capped a 9-0 UC Riverside surge, consisting
solely of triples. UC Riverside appeared to
seal its first victory of the year, when Roney
Friend intercepted Liberty’s inbounds pass
with 0.9 ticks remaining. However, Friend
shuffled her feet, giving the Lady Flames
one final opportunity, with the ball out of
bounds under the basket. Rachel Hammond
bounced the inbounds pass to a cutting
Frazee, who calmly sank the game-winning
shot from close range. Liberty notched the
evening’s first seven points, keeping the
Highlanders off the scoreboard for the first
5:29 of play. The game was deadlocked at
15 apiece, before the Highlanders suffered
another extended scoring drought. Liberty
kept UC Riverside scoreless for 4:19, reeling
off seven consecutive points in the meantime. Amber Mays split a pair of free throws
2:25 before halftime, giving the Lady Flames
a 22-15 edge. Liberty led 22-17 at the intermission. It was UC Riverside which opened
the second half on a roll. The Highlanders
recorded the first nine points of the stanza.
Tainoisouti Lott’s layup at the 15:53 mark
increased UC Riverside’s first advantage of
the contest to 26-22. Four straight tallies by
Friend boosted the Highlanders to their largest lead, 32-26, with 12:26 showing on the
second-half clock. Liberty later went back on
top with a 13-0 run between UC Riverside
hoops. Mays’ pair of free throws made the
score 43-35, Liberty, with 4:10 remaining.

The Western Carolina Catamounts fashioned a 16-0 run, spanning the first and
second halves, boosting them to a 73-53
victory over Liberty, Saturday evening at the
Ramsey Center. The triumph gave Western
Carolina the championship of this four-team
Preseason WNIT consolation bracket. Both
teams got off to a slow start at the offensive
end. When the buzzer sounded for the contest’s first media timeout at 14:42, the homestanding Catamounts owned a 5-2 advantage. Liberty did not get on the scoreboard
until the 15:30 mark, when Hammond sank
a layup. Western Carolina’s edge bulged to
six points, 16-10, after Brooke Johnson’s
layup 9:54 before the half. The Lady Flames
then knotted the game at 16-16 with six consecutive markers. A Brittany Campbell threepointer from the right corner, marking her
first collegiate points, evened the score at
7:58. However, Liberty only made one more
basket during the remainder of the opening
stanza, Moriah Frazee’s first triple of the
season. The Catamounts closed the half on
an 8-0 surge, taking a 30-19 advantage into
the locker room. The Catamounts notched
the first eight tallies of the second half, including a pair of three-pointers, extending
their overall run to 16-0 and their lead to
38-19. Liberty trimmed its deficit to 13 points,
42-29, with 14:15 remaining. Rachel Hammond contributed four points to the Lady
Flames’ 6-0 run. The red-clad Lady Flames
got to within 47-37 at 10:11, after another 6-0
surge, capped by consecutive Avery Warley
layups. Liberty was unable to shave the lead
to single digits, though, and the hot-shooting
Catamounts pulled away during the final 10
minutes.

the score with her putback with 5:05 showing
on the first-half clock. The Lady Flames kept
the Hawks off the scoreboard for the final
2:58 of the opening stanza. Liberty recorded

drought, taking a 22-20 lead into the locker
room.Hartford emerged from halftime with a
10-0 surge. Amanda Weaver’s layup at 12:50
capped the run, giving the Hawks their largest advantage up to that point, 30-22. Brittany Campbell then posted five points and an
assist during a 9-0 surge, which put Liberty
back on top. Amber Mays finished off the run
with two free throws at the 8:15 mark, making the score 31-30, Liberty. Shortly thereafter, MaryLynne Schaefer keyed Hartford’s
decisive 13-2 surge, bookending the run with
a pair of three-pointers. Her triple from the
left wing boosted the Hawks’ lead to 45-35.
With only 1:22 remaining, the edge proved to
be insurmountable for the Lady Flames.

The South Alabama Jaguars connected on
nine three-pointers, pushing them past Liberty, 65-61, in the GW Thanksgiving Classic consolation game at the Smith Center
in Washington, D.C. Amber Mays, later
named to the all-tournament team, opened
the game’s scoring by canning a pair of lefthanded layups in the first 1:36 of play, staking
the Lady Flames to an early 4-0 lead.South
Alabama answered with five straight markers, claiming its first advantage, 5-4, when
Shakira Nettles made two free throws at
16:30. The Jaguars’ Karina Sproal tallied five
points in a row, opening up a bit of breathing room for her team. Her long three-pointer
at the 8:20 mark pushed South Alabama’s
edge to 18-14. South Alabama did not trail
again until only 1:48 remained in the stanza,
when Rachel McLeod went two-for-two from
the foul line for the Lady Flames, putting
her team in front, 29-27. The sophomore’s
free throws finished a 6-0 Liberty run. Liberty took a 31-30 lead into the locker room.

the Jaguars, early in the second half. Brittney Rutledge’s long jumper from the corner
with 17:53 remaining closed the run with
South Alabama owning a 38-32 edge. Moriah Frazee made both the first and the last
baskets of Liberty’s ensuing 8-0 surge. Her
layup from the right block reclaimed the lead
for the Lady Flames, 40-38, with 14:05 showing on the second-half clock. South Alabama
bounced right back, and gained a four-point
lead, 50-46, on Siedah Banks’ old-fashioned
three-point play at 7:48. Liberty could get no
closer than two for the remainder of the contest. South Alabama sealed its win by sinking
five of six foul shots in the final minute.

Game 6
Harrisonburg, Va.
Rebounding and stellar free throw shooting down the stretch enabled the James
Madison Dukes to claim a 77-64 victory
over Liberty at the JMU Convocation Center. Back-to-back baskets by JMU’s Dawn
Evans, the nation’s leading scorer entering
the contest, finished an 8-0 Dukes run. The
surge built the home team’s early lead to
nine points, 17-8. The Lady Flames clawed
back to within three points, 21-18, after Moriah Frazee’s three-pointer at the 9:43 mark
punctuated Liberty’s 5-0 run. Evans nailed
a triple on the Dukes’ ensuing possession,
beginning a 9-3 surge by the home squad.
Sarah Williams’ layup closed the run, boosting her team’s advantage back up to 30-21,
with 6:39 on the clock. Liberty took its first
lead since 4-2, when Moriah Frazee’s hoop
at 1:29 capped an 11-0 Lady Flames run.
Her connection made the score 38-36, Liberty. JMU then tallied the stanza’s final three
points, taking a 39-38 advantage into the
locker room. Liberty opened the second half
by scoring four points in the first 47 seconds.
The Lady Flames reclaimed the edge, 4239, after Moriah Frazee’s pair of made charity tosses. James Madison quickly bounced
back with six consecutive markers of its own.
The Dukes went ahead once again, 47-44,
on Evans’ three-pointer with 15:13 left. The
Dukes’ edge ballooned to nine, 56-47, after
a run of seven consecutive points. Moriah
Frazee’s second three-pointer of the game,
at 6:43, trimmed JMU’s lead to six, 60-54.
However, that was Liberty’s last made field
goal for the next five minutes. During the
Lady Flames’ drought, the Dukes put together a 10-2 surge. Another Evans triple, with
just 2:28 remaining, gave JMU its largest
lead of the evening, 70-56. Evans scored the
Dukes’ final 14 points, nine of which came
from the free throw line, enabling her team to
finish off a 13-point victory.

Game 7
Lynchburg, Va.
An 11-0, late second-half run helped No.
13/14 Auburn to pull away from Liberty in a
tightly-played contest. The Tigers were able
to remain undefeated on the season with a
64-53 triumph over the Lady Flames. Lady
Flame Amber Mays came up with four steals
during the game’s first five minutes. Two of
her thefts came during a 10-0 Liberty surge,
which turned a 7-5 deficit into a 15-7 advantage, at 14:08. Liberty’s edge eventually
reached 10 points, 23-13, after Kittery Maine
put back her own missed shot, 10:54 before
the intermission. The Tigers’ defense then
kept Liberty off the scoreboard for nearly
seven minutes, while Auburn reeled off a
15-0 run. Alli Smalley, who hit a pair of threepointers during the surge, capped the burst
with a made jumper at 5:05. Her connection
lifted Auburn to a 28-23 edge. The Lady
Flames bounced right back, fashioning a
10-2 spurt. Moriah Frazee notched five of the
run’s points, and the senior’s old-fashioned
three-point play with 55 seconds remaining
put Liberty up, 33-30. Liberty took a 33-32
lead into the break. Rachel Hammond’s
layup with 17:28 showing on the second-half
clock increased the Liberty advantage to 3733. The Lady Flames were still in front, 4139, after another Hammond basket, coming
at the 14:11 mark. However, those were Liberty’s last points for 9:23. In the meantime,
Auburn crafted its previously mentioned
11-0 surge. Sherell Hobbs tallied five points
during the run, which increased the Tigers’
lead to 50-41. Danika Dale canned a threepointer on Liberty’s next possession, ending
the drought and trimming the Lady Flames’
deficit to six, 50-44. It was close as Liberty
would get for the remainder of the contest,
though, as Auburn put the Lady Flames
away by hitting nine-of-12 free throws during
the last 1:32.
Game 8
Lynchburg, Va.
A 22-1, early second-half run broke open
a close game, propelling Liberty to a 92-68
victory over Commonwealth foe Saint Paul’s.
Six Lady Flames scored in double figures,
helping Liberty snap a five-game losing skid.
The two teams went back and forth several
times in the early going, before Liberty built
its first double-digit lead of the afternoon with
a 10-2 surge. Kittery Maine provided six of
the Lady Flames’ points during the run, including a layup at 8:56, which pushed the
home team’s edge to 21-10. Shortly thereafter, Saint Paul’s responded with a 12-2 run,
trimming its deficit to a single point. Johnson
went six-for-six from the free-throw line during the span, and her pair of free throws
made the score 26-25, Liberty, 4:04 before halftime. The Lady Flames’ advantage
climbed back to eight points, before Liberty
claimed a 36-32 halftime lead. The Lady
Tigers had trimmed Liberty’s lead to 38-37
on Johnson’s layup at the 18:13 mark of the
second half, before suffering an offensive
drought. Saint Paul’s did not make another
field goal for 4:50, enabling Liberty to reel off
its aforementioned 22-1 burst. Amber Mays
contributed seven points to the Liberty run,
and Beecher’s second old-fashioned threepoint play of the surge bolstered the Lady
Flame advantage to 60-38 with 13:30 left.
The visiting Lady Tigers would get no closer
than 19 points down for the remainder of
the afternoon. Meanwhile, Liberty’s edge
reached 30 on three occasions, as the Lady
Flames finished with a season-high point total in their 92-68 triumph. Head coach Carey
Green’s squad was efficient at the offensive
end, sinking 63.6 percent (21-of-33) of its
field goal attempts after the intermission.

Rachel Hammond scored all 13 of her points
during the second half, and Liberty limited
Winston-Salem State to three field goals
in the first 17:30 after halftime, at the C.E.
Gaines Center. As a result, the Lady Flames
opened the half with a 26-9 surge, overcoming a one-point halftime deficit to win, 55-43.
Winston-Salem State made its first two threepointers of the contest, while Liberty utilized
its size advantage. The Lady Flames owned
a 9-6 lead at the 14:59 mark, scoring all nine
of their points inside the paint and free-throw
line. The Lady Rams briefly reclaimed the
advantage, 13-12, after a MaLisa Bumpus
three-pointer, 9:32 before halftime. Liberty
then clamped down on defense, limiting
Winston-Salem State to a single field goal
over the next five minutes. In the meantime,
the Lady Flames reeled off an 8-2 surge, featuring a pair of Amber Mays layups. Rachel
McLeod nailed both ends of a one-and-one
at 5:01. Her second charity toss gave Liberty
its largest lead of the opening half, 20-15.
The Lady Rams closed out the stanza by tallying 10 of the final 14 markers. A Bumpus
jumper with 1:20 left sent her team into the
locker room in front by a single point, 25-24.
Hammond drained a three-pointer on Liberty’s opening possession of the second half,
giving the Lady Flames a lead they would not
relinquish. Her hoop was part of a half-opening 7-0 run by the Lady Flames. Rene Rector then nailed two three-pointers in 44 seconds for Winston-Salem State. Her second
triple, with 16:05 remaining in the contest,
trimmed her team’s deficit to 33-31. Hammond made two more three-pointers during
Liberty’s ensuing 10-0 surge, bolstering the
Lady Flames’ advantage to 43-31. The Lady
Rams got no closer than nine points down
for the remainder of the afternoon.

Game 10
Nashville, Tenn.
No. 19/20 Vanderbilt composed an 18-0 run
early in the first half of its contest against
Liberty at Memorial Gymnasium. The Commodores then fought off numerous Lady
Flame comeback attempts, claiming a 67-50
triumph. The Lady Flames got off to a fast
start, jumping out to a 5-0 lead in the first
minute, as Hammond swished a three-pointer and Avery Warley scored on a putback.
Jennifer Risper’s basket was part of an
18-0 Vanderbilt run. Tia Gibbs scored seven
points during the surge, which concluded
with a Hannah Tuomi basket from the paint
at 10:28. Her connection increased the home
team’s advantage to 23-8. A Moriah Frazee
layup with 2:38 on the first-half clock, part
of a 7-0 Liberty run, cut the Lady Flames’
deficit to 30-18. The Commodores rebuilt
a 17-point advantage, 38-21, at halftime.
Vanderbilt’s initial 20-point point lead of the
game came at 41-21, when Risper converted an offensive rebound into two points, just
1:43 into the second half. The Lady Flames
roared back with a 9-0 burst over the next
2:15. Hammond bookended the run with
a triple and a fast-break jumper. Her latter
hoop, coming with 16:02 left, brought Liberty
to within 41-30. The Lady Flames still trailed
by 11 points, before Vanderbilt opened up
a bit more breathing room with 19-4 surge
over the next 7:37 of action The Commodores’ lead reached a game-high 26 points,
64-38, on a Christina Wirth second-chance
hoop with 5:19 left. The Lady Flames then
reeled off a 10-0 run, started off on consecutive triples by Hammond and Amber Mays.
Frazee split a pair of charity tosses at the
3:04 mark, trimming Vanderbilt’s advantage
to 64-48. That’s as close as the Lady Flames
got, though.

Game 11
Blacksburg, Va.
Megan Frazee, returning to the Liberty lineup after an ankle injury had sidelined her for
eight straight contests, tallied 19 points and
10 rebounds after halftime, against North
Carolina A&T. Her performance lifted the
Lady Flames to a 72-58 win in the opening game of the Hokie Hardwood Classic.
North Carolina A&T recorded an 8-0 burst to
claim an early 13-8 lead. The Aggies’ edge
reached seven points, 21-14, when Brittanie Taylor-James swished a jumper from
just inside the three-point arc, 8:30 before
halftime. Liberty gradually chipped away at
its disadvantage, and Amber Mays’ charity
toss at 1:52 provided the Lady Flames with
their first lead since 8-5, at 27-26. The teams
exchanged the advantage three times during
the remainder of the opening stanza, before
heading to the locker room deadlocked at
31. North Carolina A&T put together an 8-2
surge, early in the second half. Taylor-James
capped the run with a long jumper, giving
her team a 39-35 edge with 15:14 remaining. Liberty battled back to tie the game at
44 apiece, on another Hammond layup, before one play shifted the game’s momentum
significantly. Lamona Smalley was called
for both her fourth foul and a technical foul
at 10:59. Megan Frazee stepped to the line
for a quartet of foul shots. Frazee made all
four tries, giving Liberty an edge it never relinquished, 48-44. Shortly thereafter, Liberty
took control of the contest with a 10-0 burst.
North Carolina A&T could not get closer than
eight points down the rest of the way.
Game 12
Blacksburg, Va.
Tournament MVP Megan Frazee drilled
the game-winning shot from just inside the
three-point arc with 51 seconds remaining in
the Hokie Hardwood Classic championship
contest. Her last-minute heroics lifted Liberty
to a hard-fought 45-43 win over host Virginia
Tech, giving the Lady Flames the tournament
title and their first-ever win over the Hokies.
The Commonwealth foes were deadlocked
at 43-43 when Megan Frazee stepped to the
foul line for a one-and-one with 1:04 remaining in the contest. The senior missed the
front end, but Warley was there to snatch
her 18th rebound. Thirteen seconds later,
Rachel McLeod found Frazee for the gamewinning hoop. Virginia Tech’s Laura Haskins
had two chances to knot the contest in the
final 38 seconds, but Liberty hung on for a
long-awaited win over the Hokies. The teams
traded the lead 11 times during an evenlyplayed opening half, and neither team led
by more than three points. The Hokies’
Lindsay Biggs drilled a three-pointer from
well beyond the arc as the first-half buzzer
sounded, giving her team a 24-23 halftime
edge. Liberty did not score for a 6:32 span
of the second half, enabling Virginia Tech
to reel off an 8-0 surge. Shanel Harrison’s
steal and fast break layup at the 13:26 mark
gave the Hokies their largest lead of the contest, 37-29. Virginia Tech then experienced
its own extended offensive drought, going
8:16 without a point. In the meantime. Liberty reclaimed the lead with a 10-0 run, as
Warley’s putback hoop with 6:45 left in the
contest put the Lady Flames back in front,
39-37. Liberty’s lead was short-lived, however, as Biggs nailed her fourth triple 1:25
later, giving Virginia Tech a 40-39 advantage.
A McLeod mid-range jumper and two Megan
Frazee charity tosses swung the lead back
in Liberty’s favor, 43-40. Utahya Drye then
converted an old-fashioned three-point play
with 1:28 remaining, knotting the score at
43-all and setting the stage for Frazee’s third
game-winning shot in her last six appearances, dating back to last season.

Game 13
Lynchburg, Va.
Liberty broke open a close game against
Gardner-Webb with a 18-2 run spanning the
first and second halves. The Lady Flames
went on to hand the Bulldogs a 55-42 setback in Gardner-Webb’s first-ever Big South
contest and the conference opener for both
squads. The score was deadlocked at 8-8
early on, before Liberty fashioned an 8-0
burst. Megan Frazee tossed in the final
five points of the Lady Flame run, lifting the
home team’s lead to 16-8 at the 9:52 mark.
A Margaret Roundtree jumper from the paint,
this one coming at 4:38, narrowed the visitors’ deficit to 18-14. The Lady Flames then
closed the stanza on a 9-0 run. Moriah
Frazee initiated the surge with five straight
points, and Megan Frazee ended the half’s
scoring with a layup, sending Liberty to the
locker room with a 27-14 advantage. Warley
scored the second half’s first two baskets,
helping Liberty begin the stanza on a 9-2
run. Megan Frazee’s hoop at 16:17 pushed
the Lady Flames’ lead to 36-16, finishing off
an overall surge of 18-2, which started in
the first half. Soon thereafter, the Bulldogs
crafted their best extended run of the evening. The Lady Flames did not score for
5:03, as Gardner-Webb posted a 10-0 burst
to trim its deficit in half. Meranda Burnett’s
mid-range jumper with 6:42 left put her team
back within 10, at 40-30. Freshman Kylee
Beecher halted the Gardner-Webb run with
a free throw on Liberty’s next possession,
and the Bulldogs were never able to cut their
deficit to single digits. Rachel McLeod put
the finishing touches on Liberty’s 55-42 decision, connecting on a driving layup with 14
seconds remaining.

Game 14
Rock Hill, S.C.
Trailing by six points with less than five
minutes remaining at Winthrop, Liberty responded with a game-ending 14-4 run to
pull out a hard-fought 55-51 victory. Avery
Warley’s putback with 30.0 seconds left
gave the Lady Flames the lead for good in
their fourth straight win. Winthrop owned
a 47-41 advantage at the 4:53 mark of the
second half, before Liberty began chipping
away at its deficit. Megan Frazee swished a
three-pointer from the right wing off an outof-bounds play and Amber Mays followed
with a mid-range jumper on Liberty’s next
possession, enabling the Lady Flames to
level the score at 49-all with 2:11 remaining. The score was still deadlocked in the
final minute, when Warley tracked down
her own missed shot and banked it home
for the go-ahead hoop. On Winthrop’s next
possession, an aggressive double team
forced a turnover. Liberty was then able to
finish off its road win with four straight made
free throws by Rachel McLeod and Megan
Frazee, sandwiching a Yvonne van Daalen
layup. Winthrop had fashioned the game’s
first extended run, as Jessica Fansler’s
three-pointer capped a 9-2 surge, boosting
the Eagles’ lead to 12-8 at the 11:09 mark.
Liberty later erased its deficit with a 13-1 run,
including nine points by Megan Frazee. Her
old-fashioned three-point play with only 7.7
seconds remaining in the half finished off the
surge with the Lady Flames owning a 29-24
advantage. Jennifer Walker canned a layup
as the first-half buzzer sounded, pulling the
homestanding Eagles to within three, 29-26,
at the intermission. Winthrop gradually built
its aforementioned six points lead, before
going nearly five minutes without a field goal
at the end of the game. The Eagles’ offensive drought enabled Liberty to initiate its
decisive comeback.

Game 15
Lynchburg, Va.
Liberty closed the first half with a 15-0 run,
Tuesday evening at the Vines Center, propelling the Lady Flames to a 64-54 victory
over East Tennessee State. Liberty scored
on its opening possession of the evening,
when Avery Warley nailed a shot from the
paint. However, the Lady Flames did not
score again until Megan Frazee’s layup, 4:45
later. In the meantime, East Tennessee State
reeled off nine consecutive points. Back-toback layups by Latisha Belcher finished off
the run, putting the Lady Buccaneers in front
by a 9-2 margin at the 14:32 mark. Liberty responded with a 9-0 surge of its own, ending
with Rachel Hammond’s mid-range jumper
at 10:06, which reclaimed the lead for the
Lady Flames, 11-9. The game continued to
swing back and forth, as a 12-4 surge by the
visitors resulted in a 24-20 East Tennessee
State lead. TaRonda Wiles tossed in the last
five points of the Lady Buccaneers’ extended
run, including a triple from the corner at 5:01.
Those would be East Tennessee State’s final points of the opening stanza, however,
as Liberty closed the half on a 15-0 run. Five
Liberty steals keyed the surge, which was
highlighted by Mays’ four points and two
thefts. The Lady Flames owned a 35-24 halftime advantage, after Rachel McLeod closed
the half’s scoring with a layup at the 25-second mark. A pair of triples early in the second
half enabled East Tennessee State to trim
its deficit to seven points, 37-30, with 16:27
remaining. Liberty’s lead fluctuated between
six and 10 points until Tara Davis hit two free
throws at the 10:30 mark, bringing her team
to within 46-41. The Lady Flames quickly
responded with their second 9-0 burst of
the evening, initiated by a three-pointer and
putback by Megan Frazee. Mays later converted her eighth steal into a fast break layup
at 8:21, capping the run with Liberty leading,
55-41. Liberty’s lead remained in double figures for the remainder of the contest, as the
Lady Flames closed out a 64-54 win.
Game 16
Clinton, S.C.
Presbyterian battled Liberty closely throughout much of the two teams’ contest at Templeton Arena. However, the Lady Flames
opened the second half with a 15-2 run, and
went on to claim their sixth-straight victory,
59-49. Presbyterian did not make its first
field goal of the game until 11:37 showed
on the first-half clock. The contest-opening
drought by the Blue Hose enabled Liberty to
build an early 11-4 advantage. Liberty’s lead
reached double digits for the first time at the
10:43 mark, when Moriah Frazee drilled a
three-pointer from the top of the key to make
it 16-6, Liberty. Frazee’s triple closed out an
11-2 Lady Flame run. Liberty’s lead stood
at eight, before homestanding Presbyterian
closed the opening half on a 7-0 surge. A
Katlin Moore three-pointer with 15 seconds
remaining wrapped up the run, sending the
Blue Hose into the locker room with just a
one-point deficit, 20-19. Taking advantage of
a loose zone defense by Presbyterian, Liberty connected on three triples during a 15-2
burst to open the second half, with Rachel
Hammond hitting two of the three-pointers.
Amber Mays’ steal and resulting fast break
layup at 14:42 finished off the half-opening
run, giving Liberty a 35-21 edge. Amanda
Mills tossed in seven points during a 10-2 run
by the Blue Hose, which ended with a Moore
free throw at the 9:53 mark. Moore’s point
brought her team to within 39-33. A quick
5-0 Liberty spurt, capped by Megan Frazee’s
second three-pointer, rebuilt a double-digit
lead for the Lady Flames, 46-35, with 7:21
left. Presbyterian got not closer than seven
points down for the rest of the contest.

Game 17
Asheville, N.C.
Liberty senior Megan Frazee led all players
in both points (22) and rebounds (14), as the
Lady Flames led from wire to wire in a 75-48
win at UNC Asheville. The victory, coupled
with a High Point setback, enabled Liberty
to move into first place in the Big South Conference standings. After Lindsey Thompson
pulled the home team within four points,
11-7, with a long three-pointer from the right
wing, the red-clad Lady Flames scored 13
straight markers to open up their first double-digit advantage of the evening. Liberty
made all five of its field goal attempts during
the prolonged surge, which was capped off
at the 10:43 mark with Rachel Hammond’s
three-point play. Hammond’s trio of points
bolstered Liberty’s advantage to 24-7. The
Lady Flames did not score again for four
and a half minutes, enabling the Bulldogs
to cut their deficit to 24-12, 6:52 before the
intermission. Liberty later posted a 14-0 run,
highlighted by five Rebecca Lightfoot points.
The Lady Flames’ lead reached 42-17 with
44 seconds remaining, after a pair of foul
shots by Amber Mays. Liberty took a 42-19
advantage into the locker room, after its
highest-scoring first half of the season. Kendall Shepard scored seven straigh points for
the Bulldogs, including a three-point play at
14:30 that trimmed the Lady Flames’ edge to
50-30. Liberty countered with a 9-0 run over
the next five minutes, boosting their lead to
29 points (59-30) when Lightfoot canned
both of her free throws with 10:27 to play. The
Lady Flames maintained at least a 23-point
lead for the remainder of the contest, and
the advantage ballooned to as many as 31
points, 75-44, when Rachel McLeod drilled a
deep triple at 1:31.

Game 18
Lynchburg, Va.
Liberty’s Moriah Frazee made a bit of history, scoring her 1,000th career point during
the Lady Flames’ 76-51 conference triumph
over Charleston Southern. Three of Frazee’s
fellow seniors joined her in double figures,
as Liberty remained unbeaten in conference
play. Frazee recorded her milestone at the
14:56 mark of the second half. She drilled a
pair of free throws, making her the 12th player in program history to score 1,000 career
points. Megan Frazee scored 10 straight
Liberty points during a game-opening 17-5
surge by the Lady Flames, over the first 6:52
of play. Ali Schwagmeyer converted an oldfashioned three-point play with 12:01 left in
the first half, trimming the Lady Buccaneers’
deficit to 17-8. However, Rachel Hammond
swished a three-pointer on Liberty’s ensuing possession, and the Lady Flames led
by double digits for the remainder of the
opening stanza. Charleston Southern twice
closed the gap to 10, including at the 5:28
mark, when Katie Tull’s deep triple made the
score 29-19. Rebecca Lightfoot, Hammond
and Frazee all connected from beyond the
three-point arc during an 11-2 Liberty run,
which gave the Lady Flames their largest
lead of the half, 40-21, with 2:02 showing
on the clock. Liberty took a 42-26 advantage
into the intermission. Liberty emerged from
the locker room with a 10-2 run to start the
second half. Megan Frazee’s second threepointer of the afternoon increased the home
team’s advantage to 52-28 with 17:19 remaining. A Danielle Gibson jumper with 6:10
left cut Charleston Southern’s deficit to 18,
at 63-45, after a 7-2 run. Danika Dale then
fueled a 6-0 spurt by the Lady Flames, enabling them to boost the advantage back to
69-45 at 3:38. Liberty’s lead stayed above 21
points for the remainder of the game.

Game 19
Lynchburg, Va.
Liberty’s defense made the difference, holding Coastal Carolina to a season-low point
total in a 65-40 triumph. Visiting Coastal
Carolina recorded an early 7-2 surge, closed
out by a Sydnei Moss layup at the 15:08
mark of the opening half. The sophomore’s
field goal lifted the Chanticleers to a 7-4
edge. Liberty responded with a 7-2 burst of
its own. Layups by Amber Mays bookended
the quick run, which ended with the Lady
Flames in front by an 11-9 score at 12:31.
After Amanda Stull’s triple from the top of
the key briefly reclaimed the advantage for
the Chanticleers, Liberty went on a 15-0
run. Megan Frazee scored eight of the Lady
Flames’ points during the surge and assisted
on Rebecca Lightfoot’s left-handed layup
which capped the run. Lightfoot’s first two
points of the evening made the score 26-12
in favor of the Lady Flames, 6:52 before halftime. Liberty then went scoreless for 5:30,
during which time the Chanticleers crafted a
7-0 run to slice their deficit in half. Kendra
Reynolds’ contested jumper in the paint cut
the Lady Flames’ advantage to 26-19. The
same seven-point margin separated the two
teams at the intermission, as Liberty took a
28-21 lead into the locker room. The Lady
Flames opened the second half on an 8-2
run. Moriah Frazee hit three layups during
the surge, including one which increased
her team’s lead to 36-23 at the 16:01 mark.
Coastal Carolina tallied a 7-1 run soon thereafter. Reynolds’ hoop brought the Chanticleers to within single digits once again,
41-32. A layup and a three-point play by
Moriah Frazee on consecutive possessions
helped Liberty reclaim the momentum, and
the Lady Flames’ lead never dropped below
10 points again.
Game 20
Lynchburg, Va.
Rachel Hammond poured in a career-high
25 points, leading Liberty to a comfortable,
65-42 victory over High Point. Hammond began scorching the Vines Center nets as soon
as referee Mark Hardcastle tossed the opening tip skyward. Hammond tallied 13 points
during Liberty’s game-opening 17-5 run
which spanned the first 6:34, including a trio
of three-pointers. High Point got to within 10
points on three occasions, including at 21-11
after a short jumper by point guard Frances
Fields at 10:15. The Lady Flames then fashioned a 10-1 burst, widening their advantage
to 19 points, 31-12. Kylee Beecher’s layup
capped off the run, 6:17 before the intermission. Both teams struggled at the offensive
end for the remainder of the half, managing only two points apiece. Liberty owned a
33-14 halftime advantage. The Lady Flames
did not score for the first 3:34 of the second
half, as High Point opened the stanza with
six straight points. Fields’ running bank shot
with 16:47 remaining in the contest cut the
Panthers’ deficit to 33-20. Hammond then
heated up once again for the Lady Flames.
She scored the last seven points of an 11-0
Liberty surge, including a fast break layup at
the 13:26 mark which made it 44-20, Lady
Flames. High Point notched five consecutive
points, including a nifty reverse layup by Amy
Dodd, trimming Liberty’s edge to 21 points,
51-30. But that’s as close as the black-clad
visitors would get the rest of the afternoon.
A 14-2 Liberty run, finished off by Megan
Frazee’s trey from the right wing, gave the
Lady Flames their largest lead of the contest, 65-33. High Point scored the game’s
final nine markers, making the final score
65-42, Liberty.

Liberty dominated the painted area versus Radford at the Vines Center. The Lady
Flames scored 50 points in the paint and
outrebounded the Highlanders, 59-30, during an 80-38 triumph. Radford took its only
lead of the night when Rachel Morris drilled a
three-pointer from the left wing on the Highlanders’ initial possession of the contest.
However, those were red-clad Radford’s only
points until the 13:00 mark. The Highlanders’
drought enabled the Lady Flames to reel off
a 15-2 run. Megan Frazee contributed seven
points to the Liberty surge, including a putback at 11:42, which made the score 17-5,
in favor of the Lady Flames. Radford cut its
deficit to 10 points twice, including at 19-9
when Kymesha Alston canned a layup. Liberty then put together a 13-3 burst, increasing its advantage to 20 (32-12) on a successful alley-oop pass play from Rachel McLeod
to Rachel Hammond, 5:11 before the break.
The Lady Flames bolstered their lead to 25
points, 40-15, at halftime, after holding their
opponent under 20 first-half points for the
fourth time in the last six contests. Liberty,
which had scored the final four points of the
first half, opened the second stanza with
six consecutive markers. The Lady Flames’
overall 10-0 surge ended at 17:44, when Moriah Frazee’s spinning finger roll increased
Liberty’s edge to 46-15. Radford went 7:18
without a point during the second half, during which time Liberty’s lead extended to 42
points (60-18) with a 12-0 surge. Liberty’s
advantage got as large as 49 points on two
occasions, before the Lady Flames closed
out their biggest win of the season, 80-38.

Game 22
Boiling Springs, N.C.
Megan Frazee led all players with a seasonhigh 31 points and 10 rebounds, helping the
Lady Flames claim a hard-fought 58-51 victory over Gardner-Webb, Frazee scored 10
early points, helping Liberty open up an 11-4
lead within the first 4:55. Gardner-Webb took
advantage of numerous Liberty turnovers,
recording a 7-0 surge to knot the game at
11-11 at the 12:09 mark. Liberty reclaimed
the advantage, 15-11, when Kylee Beecher
and Rebecca Lightfoot connected from short
range on successive possessions. The Lady
Flames did not score another point for nearly
5:30, enabling the homestanding Bulldogs
to level the score once again, 15-15. An 8-2
Liberty burst, capped off by two Amber Mays
free throws at the 2:21 mark, put the Lady
Flames in front by a 23-17 count. Again,
Gardner-Webb responded quickly. Five
straight markers, including a three-pointer by
Laura Povilonyte, trimmed the Bulldogs’ deficit to 23-22. Liberty took a 25-22 advantage
into the locker room, after Megan Frazee’s
eighth field goal of the opening half. Back-toback hoops by Margaret Roundtree trimmed
Gardner-Webb’s deficit to a single point, 2726, at 16:43 of the second half. Liberty then
put together a 13-4 run, including seven Megan Frazee points. Mays’ hoop with 12:11 remaining in the contest gave the Lady Flames
their first double-digit lead of the evening,
40-30. Liberty’s advantage was still 10
points, before Gardner-Webb halved its deficit with a 7-2 burst. Povilonyte’s trifecta from
just in front of the Bulldog bench pulled her
team within 50-45, with 6:08 showing on the
second-half clock. Gardner-Webb shaved
its deficit to five points two more times, including at 56-51, when Dominique Hudson
went two-for-two from the foul line with 40
seconds remaining. Megan Frazee then iced
the contest with a pair of free throws on the
Lady Flames’ ensuing possession.
