It's hard to turn regular season success into postseason wins, a fact Liberty can now relate to. They fell just short of the Hillsdale Fighting Knights by a score of 3-2 on Thursday. The Hawks' loss signaled the end of their seven-game winning streak.

On the hitting side, Liberty saw five different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Carley Hedstrom, who went 1-for-3 with one double.

Liberty's defeat dropped their record down to 23-9. As for Hillsdale, they are on a roll lately: they've won seven of their last eight matches. That's provided a nice bump to their 20-9-1 record this season.

Liberty does not have any more games scheduled as of now. As for Hillsdale, they will face off against Cardinal Newman at 4:00 p.m. on Saturday. The Cardinals will roll in looking for their 18th straight victory, something the Fighting Knights surely won't give up without a fight.
