In a competitive matchup at Liberty Arena, the Liberty Lady Flames emerged victorious over the James Madison Dukes with a final score of 67-53. The Lady Flames now hold an impressive record, while the Dukes face a setback.
The home team, Liberty Lady Flames, showcased their offensive skills by scoring consistently across all quarters with 15, 15, 18 and 19 points respectively. Their defense was equally formidable; they blocked nine shots and made six steals which contributed to their robust defensive performance. The Lady Flames were also efficient in ball handling with an assist-to-turnover ratio of 2.43.
The James Madison Dukes put up a resilient fight but struggled to keep pace with the home team's scoring. They managed to put together quarters of 14, 12, 14 and 13 points but couldn't close the gap created by the Lady Flames' strong offense and defense. The Dukes had four steals and provided fourteen assists throughout the game.
A key factor in this game was shooting accuracy; the Liberty Lady Flames shot at an impressive forty-two percent from field goals compared to thirty-two percent by the Dukes. From beyond the arc, both teams battled hard but again it was the home team that came out on top with thirty percent three-point shooting accuracy against twenty-five percent from their opponents.
Rebounding played a significant role as well; while both teams fought hard under both baskets, it was evident that James Madison had an edge in total rebounds with fifty-one against thirty-one for Liberty University's side. However, this advantage did not translate into dominance on scoreboard due to effective use of turnovers by Liberty which resulted in eighteen points off turnovers compared to seven for James Madison.
Free throw accuracy also contributed significantly as Liberty converted ninety-one percent of their free throws whereas James Madison made seventy-five percent.
