Green has accumulated a 172-57 record in his seven-plus years on the Liberty bench, good for a winning percentage of.751. He ranked ninth among active NCAA Division I women s basketball coaches in that category, entering the season. Liberty has won the Big South Tournament title and advanced to the NCAA Tournament in each of Green s seven seasons as the Lady Flames head coach. Liberty has totaled 23 or more victories in six of those years, including the 2004-05 season that saw the Lady Flames reach the Sweet 16 for the first time in the program s history. Green has actually been to the postseason in each of his last 19 seasons as a women s basketball coach, a span which includes a dozen years as an assistant coach at Clemson. In all but one of those 19 appearances, he has experienced the NCAA Tournament. The 2005-06 season represented one of the best coaching jobs of Green s career. The Lady Flames had lost the top four scorers from the Sweet 16 squad to graduation. Moreover, freshman Megan Frazee averaged 18.5 points and 9.8 rebounds per game through the first 14 games of her collegiate career, but was lost for the remainder of the season due to injury. Yet, Liberty was still able to win 25 games, its 10th-straight Big South title and its 10th-consecutive NCAA Tournament berth. Green s efforts were recognized by both the Big South Conference and the Virginia Sports Information Directors Association (VaSID). Both groups named Green as their women s basketball coach of the year at season s end. It was the third time that he has won each of those honors and is the second-straight time Green was selected as the VaSID Coach of the Year. A key late-season conference victory over High Point made Green the winningest coach in Big South Conference history. The previous season, Green had passed Rick Reeves as Liberty s career wins leader. That was just one of the many reasons that the 2004-05 year was a special one on Liberty Mountain. A senior-laden Lady Flames team recorded upset wins over No. 4 seed Penn State (78-70) and No. 5 seed DePaul (88-79) in the first two rounds of the NCAA Tournament, becoming just the second team ever to advance to the Sweet 16 as a No. 13 seed. The Lady Flames ended the season with their highest national ranking to date, 21st (USA Today/ESPN). Even with all his accolades, Green is not yet satisfied. The native of Louisville, Tenn., located just outside of Knoxville, knows there s work yet to be done with the Lady Flames. We have some tremendous challenges ahead of us and I believe the team will be up to those challenges, Green says. I am pleased with the direction and progress of our program but of course, I, as well as the team, have higher aspirations, goals and expectations. Green s track record shows that he has the ability to meet those challenges. The Lady Flames have recorded two wins over Virginia and West Virginia and victories over No. 19 DePaul, No. 17 Kansas State, No. 25 Penn State, Wake Forest and UNLV during Green s tenure. The upset victory over the 25th-ranked Cavaliers in 2003 marked Liberty s first win over a Top 25 team. His record against conference foes is equally impressive, as he led the Lady Flames to a Big South record 46-game winning streak and currently has a.941 (112-7) winning percentage against conference teams. Green has marched through conference play with one or fewer setbacks five times in his seven years, while guiding the Lady Flames to two undefeated conference seasons.

Last year, the Red Foxes went 23-7, set a school record for single-season victories and lost to Georgia in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. The Red Foxes, off to an 8-3 start this season, received two votes in last week s ESPN/USA Today Top 25 poll. A stout defensive unit, Marist ranks ninth in the nation, allowing just 54.3 ppg. Alisa Kresge, a 5-7 senior guard, is the two-time reigning MAAC Defensive Player of the Year and currently ranks 15th nationally with 6.2 apg.

Meg Dahlman, a 6-3 junior forward/center, was a first-team All-MAAC selection and the MAAC Tournament MVP a season ago. This year, she is posting 11.4 ppg and a team-high 6.5 rpg. The Coaching Matchup Liberty Head Coach Carey Green is in his eighth season with the Lady Flames. He owns a 172-57 career record and is the all-time wins leader at Liberty and among Big South women s basketball coaches. His career winning percentage (.751) ranked ninth among active NCAA Division I women s basketball coaches at the season s outset. Brian Giorgis, at the helm of the Red Foxes for the fifth season, is 86-44 as Marist s head coach. He has earned at least a share of MAAC Coach of the Year honors three years in a row. Giorgis has guided three-consecutive Marist squads to 20-win seasons. Series Record Friday afternoon s game will mark the first-ever meeting between the Lady Flames and the Red Foxes. Liberty vs. Marist First Meeting Liberty vs. MAAC Liberty is 5-4 in nine lifetime match-ups with current members of the MAAC.

That marks the longest string of consecutive made free throws by a Liberty women s basketball player since Kristal Tharp also sank 20-straight charity tosses during the 2003-04 season. Big South Player of the Week x 3 Megan Frazee has been named the Big South Conference Choice Hotels Player of the Week on three occasions this season. The sophomore, who has now captured this award five times in her career, garnered her most recent honor on Dec. 11 after averaging 21.0 ppg and 11.0 rpg in the Lady Flames contests against Virginia Tech and No. 19 George Washington. Frazee led all players with 28 points and 10 rebounds against the nationally-ranked Colonials. Points Hard to Come By Liberty limited Virginia Union to 49 points on Dec. 16. The Lady Flames have now held three opponents under the 50-point mark this season. Liberty is on track for one of its best defensive seasons in program history. Opponents are averaging just 56.0 ppg, a mark which would rank fourth on Liberty s alltime list. The 2002-03 Lady Flames, who yielded only 54.7 ppg, hold the school record. Home Sweet Home In recent years, the Furnace has been anything but warm to opponents. Under Head Coach Carey Green, the Lady Flames are 87-11 (.888) at home. Liberty went 15-0 at the Vines Center last season, marking the fourth time in school history that the Lady Flames have enjoyed a perfect home record.

Last season, Liberty was 4-3 in the final month of the calendar year. Under Head Coach Carey Green, the Lady Flames have posted a 25-26 mark in December, including a 1-4 mark this season. This season, Liberty has seven games scheduled during December, including five contests away from the Vines Center. Only four of the Lady Flames first 13 games this season will be played in Lynchburg. Rewriting the Record Book Liberty set a Vines Center record for field goal percentage defense on Nov. 16 when it limited Columbia Union to 13.3 percent (8-60) shooting from the floor. The Lady Flames 97 points represented the team s largest scoring output since the team defeated Cedarville, 103-61, on Dec. 13, 1997 and are the most points Liberty has scored under Carey Green s direction. The More Things Change, The More They Stay The Same With zero seniors graduating from last year s Liberty team and no freshmen joining this year s squad, Lady Flames Head Coach Carey Green has the rare luxury of suiting up the exact same 14 players for two-consecutive seasons. He also returns his entire coaching staff from the 2005-06 campaign. Championship Streaks Continue The Lady Flames current streak of dominance in the Big South Conference puts them among the nation s longest conference championship runs. Liberty hoisted the Big South Championship trophy for the 10th-straight year a season ago, keeping alive the second-longest active string of conference tournament titles in the nation. Only Old Dominion, among NCAA Division I teams, currently owns a longer streak, having won 15-consecutive CAA conference crowns. Liberty has also earned nine-straight Big South regular season titles. Only UC Santa Barbara, who has claimed 11-consecutive Big West regular season championships, owns a lengthier string of success. Lady Flames Set to Battle Wide Range of Non-Conference Foes This season, Liberty will battle teams from nine different Division I conferences during its non-conference slate. These include the ACC (Virginia and Virginia Tech), the America East (Binghamton), the Atlantic 10 (George Washington), the BIG EAST (Pittsburgh), the CAA (George Mason and James Madison), the MAAC (Marist), the MEAC (Norfolk State), the Patriot (American) and the Southland (Texas-Arlington). The Lady Flames could also square off with UNC Greensboro of the Southern Conference at the Terrapin Classic. Difficult Road Ahead The Lady Flames are set to face one of the most ambitious non-conference schedules in program history this season. Liberty is slated to play three teams (George Washington, Marist and Virginia Tech) which qualified for the 2006 NCAA Tournament and could meet a fourth, defending national champion Maryland, at the Dec. 29-30 Terrapin Classic. Three other foes on the Lady Flames 2006-07 schedule (James Madison, Pittsburgh and Virginia) participated in the Women s NIT Tournament a season ago. Pittsburgh was a semifinalist in the event. Eight of Liberty s nine non-conference games which will be played away from the Vines Center come against teams that posted winning records during the 2005-06 season.

Rebound Margin - eighth, +11.7 Field Goal Percentage Defense - 10th, +11.7 Three-Point Barrage Liberty sank eight three-pointers on Dec. 16 against Virginia Union, marking a season high in the category. Six different Lady Flames connected at least once from behind the arc during the game. The Lady Flames had not made that many three-pointers in a game since connecting on eight three-pointers at Winthrop on Feb. 22, 2006. Green Tops in Big South Liberty Head Coach Carey Green currently ranks as the winningest coach in Big South Conference history with a.751 winning percentage. His 172 career wins also put him atop the conference s coaches. Green is 91-7 in Big South Conference games. Nine conference wins this season will allow him to become the Big South s all-time leader in conference victories. Luby Lichonczak, who coached at Radford from 1990-2001, currently leads that category with 99 Big South triumphs. Liberty and Winning Seasons The Lady Flames have posted 10-consecutive winning seasons and 14 total winning seasons in their 31 years of competition. 2005-06 25-6 1998-99 21-8 2004-05 26-7 1997-98 28-1 2003-04 25-7 1996-97 22-8 2002-03 26-4 1992-93 16-12 2001-02 23-8 1983-84 13-11 2000-01 18-12 1976-77 8-4 1999-2000 23-8 1975-76 7-1 Just For Starters Molly Frazee made her first career start Nov. 29 at James Madison and Rachel Hammond appeared in the starting lineup for the first time Dec. 10 at George Washington.

Liberty s best non-conference season came in 1997-98 when the Lady Flames went 14-1 outside the Big South. The Lady Flames only non-conference loss that season came to eventual national champion Tennessee in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. The Lady Flames were 12-5 in non-conference tilts a season ago and are 6-5 outside the Big South this season. Lady Flames Excel in the Classroom Liberty is not only enjoying a string of success on the hardwood, but the Lady Flames have received national recognition for their work in the classroom. Liberty tied with Lehigh for 14th in the Women s Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA) Top 25 Honor Roll this past season on the strength of its 3.338 team GPA. This is the third time in program history that the Lady Flames have been included in the Top 25 Honor Roll. Liberty ranked 13th in 1999-2000, Carey Green s first season at Liberty. The Lady Flames were also 12th in 1998-99. School Head Coach Team GPA 1. South Dakota State Aaron Johnston 3.730 2. Indiana State Jim Wiedie 3.612 3. Eastern Washington Wendy Schuller 3.474 4.

These distinctions were the result of a poll taken by the conference head coaches, sports information directors and selected media. The Lady Flames, who return their entire 14-player roster from last season, received 21 of a possible 26 first-place votes and 202 total points to easily outdistance High Point. Liberty was 13-1 in conference play a season ago and captured the Big South Championship for the 10th-consecutive time. High Point, which dealt Liberty its only regular season loss and was the runner-up of the conference tournament, took four first-place votes and racked up 178 total points, finishing second in the balloting. Winthrop, the most improved team in the conference a season ago, got 136 points to rank third. Coastal Carolina was tabbed to finish fourth with 117 points. Radford picked up the last remaining first-place vote and was selected fifth with a total of 115 points. UNC Asheville, the host of the 2007 Big South Championship, was picked sixth with 100 points. Birmingham-Southern and Charleston Southern shared seventh place with 44 points apiece. Frazee, who was averaging 18.5 ppg and 9.8 rpg as a freshman before an ACL injury during game 14 ended her season, is the first Liberty player to be selected Big South Preseason Player of the Year since Katie Feenstra in 2004. Fasnacht is coming off of a season that saw her be named to the Big South All-Conference first-team roster and take home Big South Championship MVP honors.

Her 31 points is believed to equal a school record for points in one half. Elena Kisseleva tallied 31 points in the second half of a 96-90 win over Akron on Dec. 7, 1996. Frazee s 37 points represents the third-highest single-game scoring output in program history. Katie Feenstra holds the record with 40 points, a standard she established on Feb. 3, 2004 against Winthrop. Triple the Trouble The Nov. 11 season opener against Norfolk State marked the first time that all three Frazee triplets (Megan, Molly and Moriah) scored in double figures in the same contest since arriving at Liberty. Megan led the way with 19 points, Moriah added 14 and Molly matched her then-career high with 10 markers. The trio pulled off the same feat in a Nov. 14 game at George Mason, as Megan totaled 25 points, Moriah had 15 and Molly again scored 10. Megan, Molly and Moriah were all included in the Liberty starting lineup on Nov. 29 at James Madison, marking the first time that all three triplets have started together at Liberty. The Frazees have now started together six-straight times. The triplets currently account for 35.2 ppg and 19.2 rpg. That represents 52.7 percent of the Lady Flames total scoring output and 44.1 percent of the team s total rebounds. The Frazees, the only set of triplets currently playing Division I women s basketball, are currently featured on ESPN.com, as columnist Beth Mowins wrote a piece entitled, Liberty has three times the fun in Frazee triplets. Sparkling Seniors Four seniors (Jamie Feagin, Leslie Jones, Michelle Parker and Karolina Piotrkiewicz) are included on the Liberty roster this season. If the Lady Flames accumulate 25 or more wins this season, that quartet will graduate as the winningest class in program history. The Class of 2005, which included Katie Feenstra, Rima Margeviciute, Daina Staugaitiene, Kristal Tharp and Stephanie Walker, currently holds that title, finishing its four-year run with a 100-26 (.794) record. This year s seniors have gone 82-25 (.766) through their first three-plus years at Liberty. The Lady Flames have recorded 25 or more wins in each of the last four seasons. Best in the Big South Through the games of Dec. 27, Liberty leads the Big South Conference in scoring defense (56.0 ppg), scoring margin (+10.8), field goal percentage (.435), field goal percentage defense (.336), total rebounds (43.5 rpg) and defensive rebounds (29.6 rpg), rebounding margin (+10.0). Individually, Megan Frazee paces the conference in rebounding (9.3 rpg) and defensive rebounds (6.6 rpg). Michelle Parker ranks first in the Big South in assist-to- -turnover ratio (1.25). National Rankings Several of Liberty s scheduled opponents and possible opponents are listed in the most recent national polls. The Associated Press ranks possible foe Maryland No. 1, George Washington No. 17 and Pittsburgh No. 24. In the ESPN/USA Today Top 25 Poll, Maryland is No. 1, George Washington is No. 16 and Pittsburgh is No. 23.

Liberty is perfect this season when leading with one minute remaining (6-0), when blocking more shots than its opponent (4-0), when the opponent commits at least as many turnovers as the Lady Flames (3-0), when scoring 71 or more points (3-0), when playing on Saturday (3-0) and when recording at least as many steals as its opponent (2-0). It s Not a Good Sign if... Liberty is winless this season when trailing with one minute remaining (0-5), when trailing with five minutes left (0-3), when scoring 60 points or fewer (0-3), when playing on a neutral floor (0-2) and when playing a Wednesday contest (0-2). Lack of Overtime For the second-straight season, Liberty did not play a single overtime contest in 2005-06. The last time that the Lady Flames had to play more than 40 minutes came on Jan. 6, 2004, when Liberty defeated American, 76-72, on the road in double overtime. Since that game, the Lady Flames have played 94-straight non-overtime games. The Lady Flames most recent overtime loss came on Dec. 6, 2004 against #24 Boston College at the Brown Classic. BC took a 74-70 decision in that contest. Liberty s last overtime contest at the Vines Center was a memorable one. The Lady Flames defeated Virginia, 77-69, in overtime on Nov. 26, 2002, to claim their first-ever win over the Cavaliers. Controlling the Commonwealth Liberty fared well against in-state opponents a season ago, going 6-1 against fellow Virginia institutions. The Lady Flames went 1-0 vs. Longwood, 1-0 vs. Norfolk State, 2-0 vs. Radford, 1-0 vs. Virginia Union and 1-0 vs. William & Mary. Liberty s lone loss against a Virginia school came at Virginia Tech (Dec. 10). The Lady Flames are 4-2 against in-state opponents this season, owning victories over George Mason, Norfolk State, Virginia and Virginia Union and dropping games against James Madison and Virginia Tech. Longwood and Radford (twice) are also scheduled to play Liberty this season.

Liberty s bench performers have outscored their opponent s non-starters in eight of nine games thus far, by an average of 14.8 ppg. Opponents reserves have been limited to 10 points or fewer five times. Long Distance Connection The Lady Flames have made at least one three-pointer in 51-straight games, a streak which began on Jan. 26, 2005. This is Liberty s longest such streak since the Lady Flames went 82-consecutive games with a three-pointer between Jan. 24, 1998 and Dec. 20, 2000. Ripping Down the Rebounds In eight out of 11 games this season, Liberty has won the rebounding battle. The Lady Flames are outrebounding opponents by 10.0 caroms per game, a figure which leads the Big South and ranked eighth nationally in the most recent NCAA statistical report. Such dominance on the boards is nothing new for the Lady Flames, who led the nation in rebounding margin in 2003-04 and 2004-05 and ranked third in the category a season ago. Sophomore Megan Frazee has been Liberty s most proficient rebounder thus far, pulling down 9.3 rpg. Stingy Defense The Lady Flames have made it very difficult for opponents to score this season. Liberty foes are shooting just 33.6 percent from the field, a statistic which ranks 10th in the nation. Liberty has held opponents field goal percentages to 30 percent or lower in eight of 22 halves this season. Excellence at the Charity Stripe Sophomore Molly Frazee has reversed her fortunes at the foul line from last season. As a freshman, Frazee connected on just 41.4 percent of her free throws. This year, she is shooting foul shots at a 79.5 percent rate, ranking second in the Big South in that category. Sister Megan Frazee is also proficient from the charity stripe. She is the fourthleading free throw shooter in the conference at 78.3 percent and shoots at a 74.8 percent clip for her career. Junior guard Allyson Fasnacht is a 79.4 percent free throw shooter for her career. If she can continue sinking foul shots at that rate, she will break Kristi Mercer s career program record of 79.2 percent. Fasnacht is making a career-best 83.3 percent of her charity tosses this season.

Game 9 Lynchburg, Va. All 11 players who saw action for Liberty found the scoring column, helping the Lady Flames snap a three-game losing skid with a comfortable, 66-49 win over visiting Virginia Union. The Panthers led by as many as three points in the game s early stages. Virginia Union owned an 18-17 advantage after Ashley Hill s third three-pointer of the opening half at 6:27. Liberty then turned up its defensive pressure, holding the visitors without a point for the next 6:05 of play. Meanwhile, the Lady Flames closed the half on a 16-2 run, featuring seven Moriah Frazee markers. Liberty took a 33-20 lead into the locker room. Roli-Ann Nikagbatse tallied five points during a 13-3 run halfway through the second half. Her jumper with 12:52 showing on the game clock lifted the Lady Flames to their largest lead of the game, 52-27. Virginia Union used separate runs of 6-1 and 10-1 to claw back into the contest. Hill s three-point play at 2:18 trimmed Liberty s lead to 13 points, 59-46. The Lady Flames then put the game out of reach by scoring the next five points. Megan Frazee paced Liberty s balanced scoring attack with 12 points and also matched a career high with six assists. Moriah Frazee chipped in with 11 points and a team-best seven rebounds. The victory was hardly picture perfect for Liberty, however. The Lady Flames committed a season-high 25 turnovers and shot a season-worst 56.3 percent from the free throw line. Game 10 Cancun, Mexico Senior guard Terra Wallace scored nine of her game-high 26 points during a 12-0 run that enabled Texas-Arlington to overcome an eight-point deficit and capture a 58-54 win over Liberty in the opening game of the Caribbean Classic in Cancun, Mexico. The lead changed hands several times during the contest s early stages, before the Lady Flames limited the Mavericks to just three points during a 9:17 stretch of the first half. While Texas-Arlilngton struggled at the offensive end, Liberty ran off a 15-3 run, including five Megan Frazee tallies. Rebecca Lightfoot capped the run with a lay-up off of a nice pass by Courtney Watkins, lifting Liberty to a 25-17 advantage. The Mavericks bounced back with a 10-3 surge of their own, closing the gap to 28-27 on a perimeter jumper by Ashley Bobb 1:38 before halftime. The Lady Flames took a 30-27 lead into the locker room. The score was knotted at 38 when Liberty ripped off a quick, 5-0 run. A left-handed floater by Michelle Parker as the shot clock buzzer sounded gave the Lady Flames a 43-38 edge with 9:25 showing on the second-half clock. After Texas-Arlington narrowed the deficit to one point, Liberty went on an 8-1 run. Megan Frazee s free throw at 3:38 made the score 51-43, Liberty. The Mavericks then crafted their aforementioned 12-0 spurt, taking the lead for good on a Wallace steal and jumper with 1:15 left. Her basket left the count at 53-51 in favor of Texas-Arlington. Megan Frazee s three-pointer with 11 seconds left cut the gap to one, but the Mavericks sealed the victory with a trio of free throws. 2006-07 Liberty University Game 9 Virginia Union (0-4) 49 December 16, 2006 Liberty (6-3) 66 Virginia Union MIN FG-A 3FG-A FT-A REB AST TO BLK ST PF PTS Katchona Johnson f 40 1-13 0-1 2-2 8 0 4 0 4 1 4 Shawanda Geter c 14 1-3 0-0 0-0 2 0 2 1 0 5 2 Denae Kennedy g 37 6-16 3-7 0-0 4 1 8 0 4 4 15 Ciara Alston g 28 1-4 0-0 2-5 1 7 6 0 1 4 4 Ashley Hill g 28 4-9 3-5 2-3 3 0 0 0 1 2 13 LeTeisha LeSane 5 0-0 0-0 0-0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Rashida Thomas 21 2-3 0-0 0-0 2 1 1 0 0 2 4 Lachelle Roberts 1 0-0 0-0 0-0 0 0 2 0 0 0 0 Racquel Curtis 24 2-5 0-0 3-4 6 0 1 0 2 3 7 Cartensia Davis 2 0-0 0-0 0-2 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 Team -- -- -- -- 5 -- -- -- -- -- -- Total 200 17-53 6-13 9-16 32 9 24 1 12 21 49 Liberty MIN FG-A 3FG-A FT-A REB AST TO BLK ST PF PTS Rebecca Lightfoot f 18 3-7 2-5 0-0 2 1 1 0 0 2 8 Molly Frazee f 20 0-5 0-2 1-4 5 1 0 0 0 1 1 Moriah Frazee f 20 4-7 1-1 2-3 7 0 2 1 0 1 11 Michelle Parker g 23 1-3 0-1 2-2 6 2 3 0 2 1 4 Megan Frazee g 22 4-10 2-3 2-2 4 6 4 0 0 0 12 Roli-Ann Nikagbatse 18 4-5 1-2 1-1 2 4 5 0 3 5 10 Courtney Watkins 21 2-5 1-4 0-1 5 2 0 0 0 0 5 Leslie Jones 12 0-3 0-3 1-3 3 0 4 0 2 2 1 Jamie Feagin 17 2-4 0-0 1-3 3 0 1 0 0 2 5 Egle Smigelskaite 20 2-2 0-0 2-4 4 1 4 0 0 1 6 Alexandria Bream 9 1-2 1-2 0-0 1 0 1 0 0 2 3 Team -- -- -- -- 4 -- -- -- -- -- -- Total 200 23-53 8-23 12-23 46 17 25 1 7 17 66 Halftime: Liberty 33, Virginia Union 20.
