LYNCHBURG, Va. – Radford held Liberty's league-best offense off the board for 38 minutes, but the red-hot Lady Flames (14-4, 8-0 NorPac East) scored three second-half goals to defeat the Highlanders in the regular season finale for both squads on Saturday afternoon at LU Field Hockey Field.
Â
The Highlanders (5-14, 3-5) currently hold a game lead over Davidson for third place in the division, but will have to wait until tomorrow to know their final seed. Radford will finish third with a Wildcat loss to Longwood and tied for third if Davidson wins. However, the Wildcats would have the tiebreaker for the third seed.
Â
The first half saw regular season champion Liberty earn all six corners and take all five shots, but Radford was able to block a few attempts and not allow a shot on goal.
Â
However, the Lady Flames connected on their first corner of the second half as Helen Doolittle scored on a direct shot from the top of the circle, 3:21 into the period.
Â
After junior Sydney Myrdal had two game-tying opportunities denied, Liberty doubled its lead on a strike from Bethany Barr off the insert from Ashlee Krulock. The Lady Flames closed out the scoring when Natalie Barr found paydirt in the 63rd minute.
Â
Myrdal charted all three shots for the Highlanders. Sidney Encarnacion made three saves in 62:07 of action. Liberty's Ann Jefferis stopped both of Myrdal's attempts on goal to earn the shutout and help the Lady Flames win their ninth straight.
