LIBERTY FLAMES WOMEN'S BASKETBALL

Conference USAD1-FBSwinter

PROGRAM OVERVIEW

Liberty's women's basketball program operates from Lynchburg, Virginia, where the university founded in 1971 now enrolls nearly 96,700 students across its sprawling campus and online learning platforms. Head coach Alexis Sherard leads a 13-player roster competing in Conference USA after the school joined what was previously CUSA alongside its FBS football transition. The Flames powered through a 13-11 overall season while averaging 64.6 points per game, holding opponents to 61.6, and constructed a particularly strong home presence at 7-6 in Liberty Arena.

Conference play proved more resilient than the overall record suggests, as the team compiled a 7-4 conference mark to position itself competitively within the league standings. The modest roster size of 13 players requires efficient depth utilization across both regular season and tournament competition. Sherard's squad showed versatility navigating Conference USA competition while maintaining measurable defensive consistency, evidenced by the tight point differential between what they scored and what opponents scored.
