Two teams were on the hunt for playoff glory, but only Liberty walked away with it. They claimed a resounding 71-41 win over the Gretna Hawks. The Minutemen have made a habit of sweeping their opponents off the court, having now won 15 matches by 20 points or more this season.
Liberty's win on Thursday was the result of several impressive offensive performances. One of the most notable came from Moriah Tate, who shot 60% from the field to rack up 26 points in addition to seven steals and six assists. Tate's evening made it three games in a row in which she has scored at least 17 points. Another player making a difference was Shania Brown, who dropped a double-double with 22 points and 12 rebounds.
Liberty smashed the offensive glass and finished the game with 19 offensive rebounds. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now pulled down at least eight offensive boards in six consecutive contests.
Defeat or not, Gretna got some senior leadership from Shakira Jones and Ashley Myers. Jones went 8-for-16 en route to 20 points and three steals, while Myers posted 15 points. Jones has been hot, having posted two or more steals the last eight times she's played.
Liberty is on a roll lately: they've won ten of their last 11 games. That's provided a nice bump to their 21-4 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 60.6 points over those games. Gretna moved to 15-10 with that loss, which also ended their three-game winning streak.
Liberty didn't take long to hit the court again: they've already played their next matchup, a 71-55 victory against James River on the 28th. Gretna does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
