Turning Point
After Liberty struggled in the first half to develop an offensive attack, the Lady Flames made second half adjustments that led to five shots and a goal by Gabrielle Farrell. While the offense did not have its best offensive output, the backline was exceptional allowing just two shots on goal throughout the game.

Thoughts from Head Coach Lang Wedemeyer
"I give credit to Stetson, they played an exceptional game. We had a hard time figuring out how to attack and we just didn't click very well in the first half. I thought the girls responded very well in the second half and credit to our girls. When you get into ASUN play, every game is going to be a battle and the fact that we went on the road and pulled out a win is big time for us."
Up Next
Liberty will return home to close out the week as they host Kennesaw State on Sunday. Kickoff is set for 1 p.m. at Osborne Stadium and can be seen on ESPN+.
