The Lady Flames have been predicted to win the Big South championship, and three Lady Flames (Haseman, junior Loren Thomas and sophomore Jade Craycraft) appear on the Preseason All-Big South team. Liberty went 25-9 in 2010, earning its fourth straight conference regular season championship and fourth Big South final appearance in a row. Own the Net Liberty s size around the net has been a factor this season, as the Lady Flames have posted 10 or more team blocks on three occasions. The team opened the season with 10.5 blocks at Georgia of the SEC and totaled a season-high 11.5 blocks Sept. 2 versus the BIG EAST s Seton Hall. Most recently, they earned 11 blocks Saturday vs. Towson. Three or Four Liberty has been involved in 10 three-set matches, with the other four matches of the season lasting four sets. The Lady Flames are 5-5 in three-set contests, with all of their wins coming in sweep fashion. This is the first year in the NCAA Division I era that Liberty s first five wins have all been sweeps. Back Together Liberty started two freshmen during the season opener Aug. 26 vs. Georgia. Outside hitter Ansley Gebben and libero Gabrielle Shipe, both from The First Academy, started alongside fellow TFA graduate, junior Loren Thomas during the opening match. Shipe led the team with eight digs and two aces, the first Lady Flame freshman since Karyl Bacon in 2007 to pace the team in digs in her first career match. Fellow freshman Melissa Racz posted six block assists as Liberty s primary right-side hitter. 2011 Players Career Individual Honors #1 Kendle Rollins 2011 Courtyard Midtown Invitational All-Tournament Team (Sept. 17) Big South Defensive Player of the Week (Oct. 25, 2010) #4 Courtney Boggs CVU.com Top Performer (Oct. 27, 2009) #10 Kelly Haseman 2011 Preseason All-Big South Team 2010 Big South and VaSID Second-Team libero 2009 Big South All-Tournament Team 2008 Big South All-Freshman Team #12 Lillie Happel ECAC Division I Player of the Week (Sept. 13, 2011) Big South Player of the Week (Sept. 12, 2011; Nov. 15, 2010) 2011 Liberty Invitational presented by Pepsi MVP (Sept. 10) 2011 Hotel Indigo Bulldog Invitational All-Tournament Team (Aug. 28) 2011 Holiday Inn West Invitational All-Tournament Team (Sept. 3) 2010 Big South All-Freshman team #13 Jade Craycraft 2011 Liberty Invitational presented by Pepsi All-Tournament Team (Sept. 10) 2011 Preseason All-Big South Team 2010 Big South Freshman of the Year 2010 Big South and VaSID Second-Team setter 2010 Big South All-Tournament Team #21 Loren Thomas 2011 Preseason All-Big South Team 2010 Big South Second Team 2009 Big South All-Freshman Team
