The LU team opened regional play with four wins on Friday night at the Region 5 tournament in Blacksburg, defeating Wofford, Davidson, Longwood, and Roanoke College. The highlight of the evening was the Liberty foursome coming back from a 165 point deficit to defeat Davidson 290-270 in a proverbial buzzer-beater. The team received solid performances from all five players who rotated in during the 4 games.

LU returns to action on Day Two of the tournament with 10 more games over a 5 hour period starting at 9 AM, highlighted with a 10 AM match with perennial power VA Tech, and a 11 AM match against William and Mary, which defeated Tech Friday night.

Following the 14 game round-robin preliminaries, the top 4 teams advance to a Double-Elimination Championship round to see who will advance to the College Bowl nationals to be held the end of April in Minneapolis.

After day one of competition, Liberty is the ONLY undefeated team. This could set things up well for making the playoff round later today.

Georgetown (KY) defeats Davidson for the title. One of Davidson's losses was Friday night to the Flames.
