LU has been awarded the #1 seed for the third straight year and will face #8 Gardner-Webb in the first round of the Big South tournament.

Now the bad news: Tournament is hosted by Winthrop and will likely face #4 Winthrop in the semifinals. Winthrop is the only Big South team to have beaten us this year. Should Winthrop lose to Coastal, that match is not a guaranteed W as the Chanticleers took us to 5 sets recently at their place.

We have the best team in the Big South. Hands down. Whether or not we win the tourney... that's a whole other thing. I'm not about to say it's a shoe-in because it's sports. Anything can happen. But this is one heck of a team, and they are young. Very young.

Lady Flames win their first game of teh 2010 Big South Volleyball Championship presented by Musco Lighting 3-0 over #8 Gardner Webb. they face the winner of the #4/#5 match between Winthrop and Coastal Carolina. Winthrop is the only team to have beaten Liberty this year and Coastal in the defending tournament champion

[ATrain]

Winthrop beat Coastal and will be our opponent this evening. Come on Lady Flames, 3rd time is the charm

Down 2-1 and in the 4th we trail 16-10 so our backs are seriously against the wall now. What is up with Winthrop. They really have our number.

[Stevev]

Wow Coach Pinder must have lit a fire under them as they pull out game 4 25-22 after being down by 8. Went on a huge run and were able to hold off a rally to get the win. We seem to have all the momentum now and hopefully can keep it up.

[BJWilliams]

They absolutely ROARED back in that last set...if I was there Id of loved to see what the teams looked like during that huge swing

[SuperJon]

Holy crap. We came back from down 4 at one point and down 15-14 to win 17-15 in the final set.

[Stevev]

Whew! What a game. We win 17-15 Back to back service aces in a row from Karly Bacon and we finally beat Winthrop. We pulled out that last one after being down big as well.

[BJWilliams]

We scored 17 of the final 23 points in set 4 and then that 3-0 run you mentioned Jon to win the match

[Stevev]

Nice comeback for such a young team. One of the biggest comebacks I have ever followed. Tomorrow is our chance to return to the NCAA tourney.

[Hold My Own]

WOW live stats just had me flip a lid



What a come back ON THEIR COURT! With a Freshman calling the shots on the court leading them. Wow....that was insane....wish I was there.

[Stevev]

When they were down 16-8 in the fourth I thought that this thing was over.

[Stevev]

I think that we are playing Hot Point today for the championship. They have a decent team and gave us some fairly competitive games so it should be a challenge for us.
