A Sea Of Red

Tennis Action!

Well, the Lady Flames are back in action today hosting Charleston Southern.

According to the Charleston Southern website the Bucs have beaten our ladies the last several times....
"The Bucs have won each of their last two meetings with Liberty, including a 4-2 win over the Lady Flames in the 2009 Big South semifinal."

It is my hope that today will bring a different result!!!

The match is to begin at 1 p.m. AND this is a home match... so if you want to see some great tennis, head on out to the Hershey-Esbenshade Tennis Courts and
cheer on our Lady Flames!

For complete details check-out the story on the Liberty Flames website:

"After notching back-to-back wins in Orlando, Fla., early in the week, the Liberty Lady Flames now host their fourth home match of the season, with Charleston Southern coming to Lynchburg for a Big South matchup, Saturday at 1 p.m."

Well, I am SO curious as to the outcome of this match, I have not heard a word from my daughter!!! Anyone know how the Lady Flames played???

ATrain, do you know???

Just got home from the match, they won 4-3.

We got behind early in doubles, but Hannah Fick and Jordan Jenkins fought back to win their match 9-7 and Lera and Carol won their match 8-6 and were also down a break at one point.

We pulled Jordan out of singles, but Hannah fought hard at #1 before falling 10-8 in a third set tie-breaker, and Cameron won at #2. I don't remember the score, but she got down 5-2 in the first set and came back to win 7-5. Ally lost at 3 in another third set breaker, Carol lost at #4, Neesha won in straight sets at #5 and Beckah won at #6 in straight sets as well.

Anytime we beat Charleston Southern, I'm happy

THANK YOU, ATrain!!!!
What a GREAT update and I am SO glad you got to go cheer on the ladies!!!
I have been so anxious to hear and I just knew you would have the results!!!
Thanks again!!!
Sincerely, Tennisfan
