Game No. 13 - Jan. 3, 2009
Gardner-Webb BULLDOGS
(7-5, 0-0 Big South)
at
Liberty LADY FLAMES
(5-7, 0-0 Big South)
Lynchburg, Va. - Vines Center - 7 p.m.
The Game
Liberty (5-7, 0-0 Big South) will open the calendar year 2009 and the Big South Conference portion of its schedule Saturday at 7 p.m., when Gardner-Webb (7-5, 0-0 Big
South) visits the Vines Center. The contest, which will be only Liberty’s fourth home game
of the season, will mark the Bulldogs’ first-ever Big South tilt.
What to Watch
The Lady Flames will look to continue their recent strong play, as Liberty has won four
of its last five games and claimed the Hokie Hardwood Classic championship on Tuesday.
Liberty, the preseason pick to capture the conference title, has won eight straight Big
South openers.
Gardner-Webb, one of only two conference teams with a winning non-conference record, will be making its Big South Conference debut. However, the Bulldogs’ head coach,
Rick Reeves, is no stranger to the conference. He coached at Liberty from 1990-91 to
1998-99, guiding the Lady Flames to a trio of Big South titles.
Lady Flames On The Air
All Lady Flames basketball games may be heard LIVE on WWMC 90.9 FM “The Light.”
Jamie Hall, celebrating his 15th year of broadcasting Lady Flames basketball, will once
again be handling the courtside play-by-play duties for most road games. Josh Wood will
serve as the commentator for home contests and will provide color analysis on the road.
Lady Flames On TV
For the sixth season in a row, the Flames Television Network (FTN) plans to broadcast
all 12 home women’s basketball games. FTN’s regular announcing team will consist of
Ray Jones on play-by-play and Jamie Hall on color.

Head Coach Carey Green
Record at Liberty: 218-75 (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, beginning 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 218-75 record on the Liberty bench, good for a winning
percentage of .744. 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 .913 (136-13) 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.

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 218-75 career record and is the all-time wins leader at Liberty and among Big South
women’s basketball coaches. His career winning percentage (.744) ranked 10th among
active NCAA Division I women’s basketball coaches at the season’s outset.
Rick Reeves owns a 57-74 record in his fifth season at Gardner-Webb and is 324-312
in 23 total campaigns as a collegiate head coach. He coached at Liberty for nine seasons
(1990-91 through 1998-99) and led the Lady Flames to their first three Big South championships (1997, 1998 & 1999).

Scouting Gardner-Webb
The Gardner-Webb Bulldogs will be making their Big South Conference debut on Saturday, and head coach Rick Reeves’ squad enters conference play with a 7-5 mark. The
Bulldogs have won back-to-back games over Lipscomb and Montreat to push their record
back over the .500 mark.
The Bulldogs’ roster is devoid of seniors, but a pair of juniors are leading the team in
scoring. Margaret Roundtree, a 6-0 forward, is posting 12.6 points per game and pacing
the team with 6.5 rebounds per contest. Laura Povilonyte, a 6-1 forward who played high
school basketball in Lynchburg at Holy Cross, averages 11.8 points per outing. Dominique
Hudson, a 5-5 sophomore guard, chips in with 10.1 ppg and a conference-high 5.2 apg.
Coach Reeves’ daughters, Kim Clark and Krystal Reeves-Evans, both of whom played
at Liberty, serve as assistant coaches on his staff. Clark served as acting head coach
when the Bulldogs claimed a 64-55 win at Winston-Salem State on Dec. 4, as ReevesEvans was delivering her first daughter and her father was alongside for the birth.

South contest, at the CSU Field House. Megan Frazee posted 24 points and nine rebounds, helping Green record his 200th career coaching victory.

has gone 63-8 with the Lady Flames during the year’s opening month, including a 7-0
January last season.
The Lady Flames have won 32 straight home games during the month of January.

We are the Champions!
The Lady Flames defeated Virginia Tech, 45-43, on Tuesday at Cassell Coliseum to
win the Hokie Hardwood Classic. Megan Frazee hit the game-winning shot from 18 feet
with just 51 seconds remaining, giving Liberty its first-ever win over the Hokies and preventing Virginia Tech from winning its 11th straight home tournament title.
Frazee was named tournament MVP, marking the fourth tournament MVP trophy she
has won in the last two seasons (also 2007 National City Xavier Invitational, 2007 Lady
Rebel Christmas Classic and 2008 Big South Championship). Avery Warley, who nabbed
29 rebounds in two games at the tournament, also made the all-tournament team.
Spreading the Wealth
Six Lady Flames reached double figures in the scoring column during Liberty’s 92-68
triumph over Saint Paul’s on Dec. 13. Freshman Kylee Beecher led the way with 18 points,
followed by Moriah Frazee (16 points), Avery Warley (13), Danika Dale (12), Kittery Maine
(12) and Amber Mays (10).
Liberty had not featured six double-digit scorers in the same game since Jan. 19,
1987, when Pam Wilder (25 points), Pam Stanfield (14), Harriett Blair (12), Saundra Bridges (11), Annetta Paraham (11) and Sharon Freet (10) accomplished the feat for the Lady
Flames. Their efforts helped Liberty claim a 98-83 home win over Ferrum.
None of Liberty’s double-figure scorers from the Saint Paul’s contest were born on
Jan. 19, 1987. Moriah Frazee was born a little more than two months later, on March 29.
Spreading the Wealth, Part 2
Rebounding played a key role in Liberty’s 72-58 triumph over North Carolina A&T
in the opening round of the Hokie Hardwood Classic on Dec. 29. The Lady Flames outrebounded the Aggies by a 51-31 count, led by three double-digit rebounders. Megan
Frazee snared a game-high 12 rebounds, while Avery Warley corralled 11 boards and
Kylee Beecher came up with 10 caroms.
Liberty had not seen three players grab double-digit rebounds in the same game
since Jan. 31, 1998, during a 79-66 home win over Radford. A Vines Center-record crowd
of 5,117 watched Elena Kisseleva tally 15 rebounds, while Kirstyn Bliss and Sharon Wilkerson rounded up 10 rebounds apiece.
A New, Familiar Face
Jessica Nelson just wrapped up a stellar volleyball career during Liberty’s first-round
NCAA Division I Women’s Volleyball Championship matchup with No. 4 Nebraska on Dec.
5. Then, Nelson made her collegiate hardwood debut for the Lady Flames, just eight days
later. She tallied five points, three assists and two rebounds versus Saint Paul’s, on Dec.
13.
Nelson is the Lady Flames’ first two-sport athlete since 2005 graduate Stephanie
Walker, who also competed for the Liberty women’s track & field team.
Nelson is believed to be the first athlete to compete in both volleyball and women’s
hoops at Liberty since Theresa Bream, who played basketball for the Lady Flames in
1989-90, 1990-91 and 1992-93.
A-MAYS-ing Amber
Amber Mays filled the stat sheet for the Lady Flames during their 92-68 victory against
Saint Paul’s on Dec. 13. The junior totaled 10 points versus the Lady Tigers and tallied
new career highs for assists (8), rebounds (6) and steals (5). In the process, Mays became the first Lady Flame to score in double figures while also recording at least five assists, five rebounds and five steals in the same game since Carey Green became head
coach in 1999-2000.
The last time a Liberty player recorded a 10-5-5-5 stat line came on Feb. 18, 1999 at
the Vines Center. Sharon Wilkerson posted 17 points, five assists, seven boards and five
steals in a 74-53 triumph over UNC Asheville.
Entering Conference Play on the Right Foot
After defeating Virginia Tech on Tuesday, Liberty is now 9-1 in its final tuneup for Big
South play during Carey Green’s 10 seasons as head coach.

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 136-13 against
Big South opponents, including 112-12 in the regular season and 24-1 in the Big South
Championship.
Green has never lost to his alma mater, Coastal Carolina (21-0), or Charleston Southern (20-0) during his time at Liberty.
Fabulous Freshman
Freshman post player Kylee Beecher enjoyed the best game of her young collegiate
career, Dec. 13 against Saint Paul’s. She paced the Lady Flames with a career-high 18
points, matching the Roanoke, Va., native’s point total from her first six appearances.
Beecher also contributed six rebounds and a career-best five assists to Liberty’s 92-68
win.
As a result, Beecher was tabbed Big South Women’s Basketball Freshman of the
Week on Dec. 15. She became Liberty’s first Big South Freshman of the Week since current Lady Flame senior Moriah Frazee won the award on Feb. 20, 2006.
Balanced Scoring
Redshirt freshman Avery Warley led all players in scoring during Liberty’s 55-43 win
at Winston-Salem State on Dec. 20, tossing in a career-high 17 points. She became the
sixth different player to pace the Lady Flames’ scoring parade during this season’s first 10
contests, joining Kylee Beecher, Brittany Campbell, Megan Frazee, Moriah Frazee and
Rachel Hammond.
Last year, only five different players--Allyson Fasnacht, Megan Frazee, Molly Frazee,
Moriah Frazee and Rebecca Lightfoot--led Liberty in scoring during the team’s 32 games.
Megan Frazee led the way 24 times.
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 179-51
(.778) all-time at the Vines Center, including 13-0 last season. The Lady Flames, 1-2 at
the Vines Center in 2008-09, have 12 home games scheduled this season.
Liberty Versus Non-Conference Opposition
The Lady Flames are 5-7 during the non-conference portion of their 2008-09 slate.
Liberty is 265-292 all-time in non-conference outings.
Last season, Liberty went 15-3 versus non-conference opponents. The Lady Flames
won all six of their non-conference home games in 2007-08.
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 non-conference setback that season came to national champion Tennessee in the first round of the NCAA Tournament.
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 115 straight
games, a run which began on Feb. 26, 2005. None of the current Lady Flames were in
college when the streak began.
Liberty kept the streak alive on Tuesday, when Rachel Hammond drained a triple on
the Lady Flames’ first offensive possession of the evening.
Lighting Up the Scoreboard
Liberty’s 92-point outburst against Saint Paul’s on Dec. 13 was the ninth time the
Lady Flames have scored 90 or more points in Carey Green’s 10 seasons as head coach.
Liberty is 9-0 when reaching the 90-point mark under Green’s direction.

Lady Flames Excel in the Classroom
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.

Start Me Up
Head coach Carey Green used only four different starting lineups in Liberty’s 32
games last season. The most common starting five consisted of Allyson Fasnacht, Courtney Watkins, Megan Frazee, Rebecca Lightfoot and Moriah Frazee. The unit went 18-2 in
their 20 games as a starting unit.
The Lady Flames’ most successful grouping, which won all six games in 2007-08,
featured Fasnacht, Watkins, Megan Frazee, Molly Frazee and Moriah Frazee.
This year, Liberty has already used five different starting lineups in the first 12 games
of the season. Moriah Frazee, Rachel Hammond and Avery Warley have been the only
three Lady Flames to start all eight contests.
Counting Up the Votes
Liberty was listed among the “Others Receiving Votes” in the Nov. 25 ESPN/USA
Today Coaches Top 25 poll, for the third straight week, receiving one vote.
Last season, the Lady Flames regularly received votes in both national polls, but did
not quite crack the Top 25. Liberty’s most recent Top 25 ranking came in the final ESPN/
USA Today Coaches poll of the 2004-05 season. The Lady Flames were listed No. 21,
after reaching the “Sweet 16” of the NCAA Tournament.
2008-09 Opponents in the National Rankings
Two of Liberty’s 2008-09 opponents appear in the current Top 25 polls. Undefeated
Auburn is listed No. 9 in the AP Top 25 poll and No. 10 in the ESPN/USA Today Coaches
Top 25 poll, while fellow SEC member Vanderbilt is ranked No. 19 in the ESPN/USA Today
Coaches poll and No. 20 in the AP listing.
Halfway There?
Halftime leads have not been safe so far this season in Liberty’s games. Five times,
the team owning the halftime advantage has gone on to lose the game. The Lady Flames
have dropped a trio of contests after leading at intermission, and Liberty claimed road
victories at Winston-Salem State (Dec. 20) and Virginia Tech (Dec. 30), despite trailing at
the break in both contests.
Over the past two seasons, the Lady Flames are 5-6 when trailing at the break.
Lack of Overtime
Liberty has played only one overtime game in its last 158 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.
Awesome Avery
Redshirt freshman Avery Warley controlled the glass at the Hokie Hardwood Classic,
ripping down 29 rebounds in the Lady Flames’ two victories to fall just two boards shy of
the tournament record.
Warley came up with a career-high 18 rebounds to pace all players in the championship game against Virginia Tech. Ten of Warley’s boards versus the Hokies came at the
offensive end, as she nearly became the first Lady Flame with a 20-rebound contest since
Theresa Bream had 23 boards against St. Peter’s on Dec. 4, 1992.
Warley added 11 points against Virginia Tech to complete her first double-double.
The Container is Half Full
Liberty connected on a season-high 55.7 percent (34-of-61) of its field goal attempts
against Saint Paul’s on Dec. 13, leading to a 92-68 victory.
The Lady Flames went 9-0 last season when shooting 50 percent or higher. Liberty is
now 50-0 in such contests under head coach Carey Green.

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. Last season, the
Frazees averaged 37.6 points and 19.0 rebounds per outing, good for 52.5 percent of the
Lady Flames’ total scoring output and 44.8 percent of the team’s boards. Collectively, the
Frazee triplets have totaled 2,997 career points and 1,571 career rebounds, leaving them
just three points shy of 3,000 as a trio.
Megan, Molly and Moriah Frazee started together six times last season and have
done so 14 times in their career. One of the Frazees led the Lady Flames in scoring in 30
out of 32 games during the 2007-08 campaign.
Miss Consistency
Megan Frazee has scored in double figures in each of her last 48 games, dating back
to Jan. 27, 2007. It is the longest such streak of her career and the longest by a Liberty
player since Elena Kisseleva tallied 10 or more points in 62 straight contests, spanning the
1996-97, 1997-98 and 1998-99 seasons.
Frazee has only scored nine or fewer points on four occasions at Liberty, and has
never done so in consecutive outings.
Clamping Down on Defense
The Lady Flames have held 63 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. Seven of the Lady Flames’ first
12 opponents have shot below 40 percent from the floor. Liberty ranks second in the Big
South with a .366 opponents field goal percentage.
A Short Commute
Freshman guard Brittany Campbell attended high school literally right down the street
from Liberty University at Brookville High School. She is the first Lynchburg-area player to
suit up for the Lady Flames since Tekita Butler in the 2002-03 season.

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.
A Clutch Performer
Megan Frazee drained a game-winning 18-foot jumper with 51 seconds left on Tuesday at Virginia Tech, representing her third game-winning shot in the senior’s last six appearances. Frazee also defeated Radford (March 16, 2008 - Big South Championship)
and UC Riverside (Nov. 21, 2008 - Preseason WNIT) with close-range field goals in the
final seconds.
A Lucky 13
As a result of Megan Frazee’s big performance versus VCU, which included 28 points
and 11 rebounds, she was tabbed this season’s inaugural Big South Women’s Basketball
Player of the Week. It is the 13th time in Frazee’s career she has captured the conference’s weekly honor.
Only former Liberty standout Katie Feenstra has collected more Big South Women’s
Basketball Player of the Week awards in conference history. Feenstra finished her Liberty
career with 15 weekly plaques.
Anything You Can Do ...
Last season, Megan Frazee became the 11th player in program history to score 1,000
career points, eclipsing the magical mark at North Carolina on Dec. 30, 2007. This year,
she could get some company from within her own family. Sister Moriah Frazee enters the
Gardner-Webb contest with 950 points, leaving her 50 shy of 1,000.
If Frazee scores at her current season average of 10.5 points per contest, she is due
to hit the milestone on Jan. 19, during the Lady Flames’ game at UNC Asheville.
The Frazees would not be the first sister duo to score over 1,000 points at Liberty.
Sharon and Sarah Wilkerson, who graduated in 2000, totaled 1,733 and 1,331 points,
respectively.
First Time Since Feenstra
Redshirt freshman Avery Warley established a pair of career highs during Liberty’s
Nov. 21 victory over UC Riverside, coming up with 11 rebounds and four blocked shots. In
the process, she became the first Liberty to tally at least 10 rebounds and four blocks in
the same contest since the final game of Katie Feenstra’s brilliant Liberty career. The 6-8
Feenstra, now of the WNBA’s Atlanta Dream, notched 12 rebounds and four blocks versus
No. 1 seed LSU in the “Sweet 16” of the NCAA Tournament, on March 26, 2005.
Finishing Strong
Liberty has played well in the second half of its last five games, against Saint Paul’s,
Winston-Salem State, Vanderbilt, North Carolina A&T and Virginia Tech. The Lady Flames
have outscored their foes by an average of 10 points during the final 20 minutes, helping
them go 4-1 during the stretch..
Winning the Battle of the Boards
The Lady Flames have outrebounded six straight opponents, including two nationallyranked SEC foes, Auburn and Vanderbilt. Only two teams (Western Carolina and James
Madison) have won the rebounding battle against Liberty this season, as the Lady Flames
lead the Big South Conference with a +7.2 rebounding margin.
During the Hokie Hardwood Classic, Liberty won the rebounding battle against North
Carolina A&T by 20 boards and hauled in 16 more caroms than Virginia Tech. The Lady
Flames notched 39 offensive rebounds during the two games in Blacksburg.
Liberty, which currently ranks No. 59 nationally for rebounding margin, has finished in
the top five 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.

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.

Game 4
Washington, D.C.
A late 13-2 run enabled Hartford to emerge
victorious from its defensive struggle with
Liberty. The Hawks prevailed by a 46-39
count in the opening game of the GW
Thanksgiving Classic, at the Smith Center
in Washington, D.C. Liberty tallied eight of
the contest’s first 11 points over the opening
4:43 of play. Rachel McLeod provided six of
the Lady Flames’ markers, including a short
baseline jumper at 15:17 which put Liberty
on top, 8-3. The Lady Flames managed only
two points during the next 8:55. During the
meantime, Hartford tallied 13 markers, building its initial lead of the game to 16-10 on
Lisa Etienne’s pair of free throws, 6:32 before
halftime. Liberty quickly leveled the score at
16-16, by scoring on each of its next three
possessions. Avery Warley contributed four
points to the Lady Flames’ 6-0 burst, tying
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
the half’s last four points during Hartford’s
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.
Back-to-back triples initiated an 8-0 burst by
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.
