- The Lady Flames enter the week as one of 33 unbeaten teams in NCAA Division I volleyball. Liberty's best start to a season came in 2008, when the Lady Flames started out with eight straight wins.

- Liberty will be looking for its first win over a Top 25 opponent in program history. Its most recent ranked foe was No. 11 Florida, which swept Liberty Sept. 20, 2019.
