Liberty defeats Minnesota 5-0 and concludes pool play at 3-0 and runs their winning streak to 11 games in a row and has won 21 of 23 since losing to the same Minnesota squad 4-1 on November 16. They will play either Robert Morris or UMass at 11 am tomorrow in the semifinals

This is fantastic! Way to go Lady Flames!

I am a Canuck, who has resided in the U.S. now for the past 15 years.

Best of luck!

Major props to the ladies for quietly having one of the most dominant seasons on the mountain and here's hoping they can bring the second team national championship to the mountain (after the wrestling team won duals last year) in the last 18 months

Wish it was going to be an hour or so earlier. I was hoping to watch the end of the men's hoops game on my tablet while watching the women's hockey game live and still make it to church by 5.

Agreed...we do lose some very good seniors but we have a lot of very good contributors probably coming back next season so I have a feeling we will be right back up there again in 2013-14
