2008 SEASON

As the 2000 season began, expectations were high for the Liberty Lady Flames wom-en’s soccer team. Coming off the most suc-cessful season in the school’s history in which the Lady Flames posted their first-ever win-ning record, the team won its first-ever BigSouth Tournament game and advanced to the championship of the Big South tournament for the first time before falling 3-2 in a heart-breaking overtime loss to Elon, head coachJames Price’s squad set the highest goals ever for the program - a Big South Championship. After posting a 4-2 Big South regular season record, Liberty entered the Big South Cham-pionships at Radford, Va. as the number two seed drawing seventh-seed UNC Asheville in the first round.

EXPECTATIONS REALIZED; LADY FLAMES CAPTURE PROGRAM’S FIRST-EVER BIG SOUTH CHAMPIONSHIP

After a sluggish first 20 minutes in which the Bulldogs took a 1-0 lead, the Lady Flames quick-ly took control of the game as junior forward Nancy Davis tied the score on an unassisted goal and less then 70 seconds later took a feed from senior Cheryl Jones for another tally. After that, Liberty never looked back on its way to a 3-1 victory. Junior Breanna Jacinto added a goal in the second half.

In the semifinals, the Lady Flames used soph-omore midfielder Emily Shubin’s early first half unassisted tally and strong defense to shut out Charleston Southern, 1-0. With the win, Liber-ty moved to the championship game to meet the top-seeded Elon Phoenix for the second-straight season.

Neither team could manage a goal in the first half as they went to intermission knotted in a scoreless tie and it remained deadlocked for the next 36 minutes of the second half. In thegame’s 81st minute, sophomore forward Katie Woodrow slipped behind the Elon defense and was hauled down in the penalty area, resulting in a penalty shot. Davis would put the shot just inside the right post for a 1-0 lead with only nine minutes left.

The Phoenix made an offensive push in an attempt to even the score when a neutral zone turnover set up a corner kick for Liberty. On the kick from the right of the Elon keeper, Jones sent a cross which Davis blasted from five yards out through a sea of players to seal a 2-0 victory and the program’s first-ever Big South Champi-onship.

The Lady Flames had proved they were up to the task. Goalie Amy Moxley earned her second shutout in two straight days and her fourth of the season in the win.

Davis, who tallied four of Liberty’s six tourna-ment goals, was named the MVP. Jacinto, Sarah Gantner and Jenny Davis also were named to the all-tournament team.

The team entered new territory for a Liberty team as it hosted Tennessee Tech in an NCAA Play-In game in hopes of earning the program’s first-ever NCAA Tournament berth. Senior Ma-kaela Gibson, playing on her home field for the final time, scored the game’s lone goal in the 31st minute off a cross from Nancy Davis and the Lady Flames would make it stand up for third straight shutout, 1-0, to secure the pro-gram’s first NCAA Tournament berth.

In the first round of the NCAA Tournament, Liberty fell to ACC power Wake Forest on their home field, 6-1, to end the season.

Despite the loss, it failed to diminish the mag-ical season by the Lady Flames as they posted a school-best 15-7 record, the program’s first Big South championship and its first berth to the NCAA Tournament. They proved they could meet expectations.

2001 BIG SOUTH CHAMPIONS

AN ENCORE! LADY FLAMES BECOME THE FIRST TEAM TOREPEAT AS BIG SOUTH CHAMPIONS

After having the best season in the history of the program by capturing the team’s first-ever Big South Conference Championship and secur-ing the program’s first NCAA Tournament berth, the Lady Flames entered 2001 with determina-tion to improve upon the prior season. Not only did the team want to repeat as Big South Cham-pions, something no team had done since the beginning of the tournament in 1993, but they also wanted to win the program’s first NCAA Tournament game. With a majority of 2000’s team returning, optimism was high on Liberty Mountain for the program. Facing the toughest schedule in the pro-gram’s history, not only would James Price’s

squad have a tough conference slate to ma-neuver through, but they would also face some strong teams nationally in Central Florida, Vir-ginia, UNC Wilmington and Wake Forest in non-conference match-ups. After getting off to a 3-1-1 mark in confer-ence play and winning six of eight October games, the team dropped its last two games of the regular season, including a 1-0 decision at Charleston Southern, to end its conference schedule. The loss would send the defending confer-ence champions to the tournament at Charles-ton, S.C. as the number three seed and a first round match with High Point, a team which had beaten the Lady Flames earlier in the year. Lauren Zealand’s breakaway goal down the middle of the box at the 6:25 mark avenged an earlier regular season defeat as Liberty ad-vanced to the semifinals with a 1-0 victory. Host Charleston Southern, the second seed, awaited the Lady Flames in the semifinals. Once again, defense was the key as Liberty limitedCharleston Southern, a squad which had beat-en the Lady Flames the previous weekend, to only seven shots in its second 1-0 win of the tournament. Katie Woodrow provided the match’s only goal in the 10th minute of play. In the cham-pionship game, the Lady Flames took on top-seeded Elon for the third year in a row. The two teams were scoreless late into the match until Liberty broke through with two

quick scores. Off a corner kick in the tight con-test, Jenny Davis found net by heading in EmilyShubin’s cross at the 82:51 mark. The duo fol-lowed it up less than a minute later at 83:35 as Davis once again headed a Shubin corner kick in for a 2-0 lead.

Freshman goalkeeper Natalie Mayer and the defense held on for their third shutout as the Lady Flames repeated as Big South Champi-ons. With the victory, Liberty became the first Big South team since the tournament began in 1993 to repeat as champion.Davis earned Tournament MVP honors and was joined by teammates Mayer, Zealand and defender Sarah Gantner on the all-tournament team.

Next up was a NCAA Tournament first-round match with Virginia, which the Lady Flames dropped in a 3-0 decision.

However, it could not dampen the accom-plishments of the 2001 Lady Flames. Deter-mined and committed, the team did something no other Big South squad had done before, re-peat as Big South Champions and set the bar high for future Lady Flame soccer teams.

2008 SEASON

ON A ROLL; LADY FLAMES COME TOGETHER TO WINRECORD THIRD BIG SOUTH CHAMPIONSHIP

2005 BIG SOUTH CHAMPIONS

It had been four years since the Liberty Lady Flames had hoisted their second Big South Championship trophy. After enduring a rigorous stretch to begin the season, the Lady Flames seemed to be coming together as a team when they entered the 2005 Big South Championship with a 5-3 regular season con-ference record and the tournament’s No. 3 seed. On a rampage, they had won the final fourmatches of the season, three of them against conference rivals. In what head coach James Price later called the team’s best all-around performance of the season, the Lady Flames opened the tournament with a bang in their first-round contest Thursday afternoon, overpowering the No. 6 seed Birmingham-Southern Panthers, 4-1, on the power of two second-half goals from the foot of Rachel Het-rick. Ashley Braam got the scoring started at the 32:47 mark, off an assist from defender Tanya Payne. The tally gave the Lady Flames a 1-0 lead at half. Midway through the second half, Brittney Bench chose a perfect time to score her first goal of the year, putting the ball into the back of the net at the 61:24 mark off a pass from midfielder Mandee Judd. At 77:35, Hetrick scored her first goal of the tournament to make the score 3-0, off a pass into the box by Sarah Davis.

The Panthers mustered their only goal of the game with less than 10 minutes remaining in the match to cut the score to 3-1. However, 1:10 later, Hetrick notched her second goal of the match off a pass from Amy Oberlin, giving the Lady Flames a 4-1 victory. In their only night game of the tournamentFriday, Liberty faced No. 7 seed Radford, who had upset No. 2 seed High Point the previous day, in a semifinal match-up. On a hazy and humid night, the Lady Flames took it to the Highlanders in a physical match much closer than the two teams’ meeting ear-lier in the season. In the early stages of the match, neither team could muster much offense, as the two teams combined for just seven shots in a score-less first half. Early in the second half, the Lady Flames would trail for the first and only time during their tournament run as Radford netted its lone goal in the contest’s 54th minute. However, the 1-0 deficit was shortlived as less than two minutes later, Oberlin rocketed a header past the Highlander keeper off a cross from Rachel Bendzlowicz, knotting the game at 1-1. The tie quickly disappeared as Bench put Lib-erty up for good in the 61st minute on a cross from Payne. The Lady Flames held on for a 2-1 decision. Appearing in their fourth conference cham-pionship game and the first since 2001, Liberty

squared off against No. 1 seed UNC Asheville Sunday afternoon.

In their previous meeting in early October in Asheville, the high-scoring Bulldogs had con-trolled play throughout the game on their way to a 4-1 win.

However, this day was different as the Lady Flames’ defense shut down UNCA en route to a shutout victory.

After playing to a scoreless stalemate in the first half, Payne put Liberty on the board in the match’s 48th minute by placing a penalty kick into the right corner of the net for a 1-0 Lady Flames advantage.

Liberty extended its lead in the game’s 65th minute as a racing Judd split two defenders and broke up the middle, blasting home a rebound of her own shot which the Bulldog keeper saved, but couldn’t control and clear.Judd added her second goal just minutes later off of a Hetrick corner kick, giving Liberty its seventh straight win, 3-0, and its third Big South Conference championship.

Bendzlowicz was named the tournament’sMVP, while three other Lady Flames - Bench, Oberlin and Hetrick - were named to the all-tournament team.

Liberty advanced to the first round of the NCAA Tournament, where it fell to site host and nationally-ranked Virginia, but that did not take away the renewed hope and enthusiasm sur-rounding the program after breaking through for another Big South title.
