It can be hard to translate regular season success to the playoffs, but Liberty had no problem doing just that on Tuesday. They claimed a resounding 73-37 victory over the Patrick County Cougars. The Minutemen have made a habit of sweeping their opponents off the court, having now won 14 matchups by 20 points or more this season.
Liberty got their win on the backs of several key players, but it was Shania Brown out in front who dropped a double-double with 18 points and 16 boards. The dominant performance also gave Brown a new career-high in blocks (five). Another player making a difference was Moriah Tate, who went 8-for-16 on her way to 18 points and four steals.
Liberty smashed the offensive glass and finished the game with 16 offensive rebounds. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now pulled down at least eight offensive boards in five consecutive games.
When it comes to explaining why Patrick County lost, don't look at Lilly G Hazelwood. Despite the final result, she posted eight points and seven rebounds. Novella Nester also deserves some recognition as she posted her first assist of the season.
Liberty is on a roll lately: they've won nine of their last ten contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 20-4 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 59.6 points over those games. Patrick County's defeat was their fifth straight on the road, which dropped their record down to 10-13.
Looking ahead, Liberty will look to defend their home court on Thursday against Gretna at 6:30 p.m. Gretna has been getting the ball to fall more lately as they've increased their point totals each of their last three games. Patrick County does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
