Liberty gets a 1-0 win over Presbyterian thanks to a goal by Crystal Elmers late in the first half. The ladies take on High Point down in Conway in the semifinals after they knocked off Longwood today (the Lancers were the #3 seed coming into the tournament)

Great win for the ladies. The field is shaping up in their favor. Let's see if they can capitalize.

We blow out High Point 4-1 in the semifinals to set up a championship match on Sunday vs. top seed Radford.

Hubby and I have been in Conway since yesterday to watch the Lady Flames. It probably got down to the high 30's at Friday night's game. Would have been nice if they had a concession stand with some hot chocolate. Looking forward to watching the Lady Flames play in the sun tomorrow. Go Flames! :D

Yeah, hot chocolate is probably not a big seller in Conway in 95% of their events.

Thanks for the reminder, SumItUp. I turned on just in time to see LU go up 3-nil. The rout is on!

This is turning into quite a great weekend for Flames athletics.

4-0 at the 16:59 mark. That should secure a championship.

That was an incredible goal by Smith!

Radford looks like they can't wait for this final 16 minutes to be over so they can get off the field.

One more goal in the final 10 minutes to take the lead 5-0. Wow!

Aside from the score they were the better team today - won most of the 50-50 balls and played stout defense.

Adam Godwin isn't going to get enough praise for his work with these girls so let me be one to give him a shout of well done! Hopefully we can keep him around.

3 conference titles in 4 championships offered (with one second place). Man depending on football and volleyball we could have a HUGE points haul when the first Sasser Cup standings come out

Agreed...and the man can recruit too.

Today was probably the most dominating performance I have seen on a championship stage by a non-big 3 sport in my years of following Liberty athletics.
