‹ 2 ›

TABLE OF CONTENTSNEW ERA OF LIBERTY SOCCER Lang Wedemeyer enters his first season at the helm for Liberty women’s soccer as he looks continue a tradition of success that the Lady Flames have built. Wedemeyer comes to Liberty following a highly success-ful 17-year run as the head women’s soccer coach at South Dakota State. During his time at the helm of the Jackrabbits’ program, Wedemeyer led South Dakota State to four Summit League championships and trips to the NCAA Women’s Soccer Championship (2008, 2014, 2015 and 2016).

QUEST FOR 3PEATDespite having its third head coach in three straight seasons, the Lady Flames looks for its third straight Big South title in as many years. Liberty is looking to become the first school in Big South Conference history to win back-to-back-to-back Big South titles. At the beginning of August, the Lady Flames were picked to finish first in the Big South Preseason Poll.

THE GREAT 8 - SENIOR CLASSThe Lady Flames bring back a wealth of talent and experience as they are led by a veteran group. Out of the seven position players in Liberty’s senior class, every player played at least 10 or games last season. Of the 41 goals last year, the Lady Flames’ senior class scored 18 goals along with 19 of Liberty’s 40 assists in 2016. The senior class is also made up of three All-Big South selections and two Big South All-Tournament honorees.

HOME SWEET HOME Osborne Stadium has been proved to be one of the toughest places to play in the Big South Conference. Since 2014, the year this senior class has been at Liberty, the Lady Flames are 25-6-1. Liberty was impressive in 2016 posting a 9-2 record at home.

ALL-CONFERENCE RETURNEESLast year, Liberty garnered 10 Big South All-Conference selections. Returning to this year’s squad are six Big South selections led by the Big South Preseason Attacking Player of the Year, Jennifer Knoebel. Liberty returns two Big South First Team honorees in Gabrielle Farrell and Isabella Habuda.

FLAMES ON THE ROADIn one of the most challenging schedules in the program’s history, the Lady Flames will be tested on the road as they will have 12 games on the road this season. Liberty will be tested early in the season as they travel to Charlottesville, Va. to face Virginia, which goes into the season ranked No. 11 in the country. The Lady Flames will be tested with four straight road games starting with George Washington. During Big South contests, Liberty will have five road contests.

LADY FLAMES’ POTENT OFFENSE Coach Wedemeyer will have plenty of weapons on offense at his disposal in his first season at Liberty. In 2016, Liberty ranked No. 36 in the country scoring 41 goals. Of the 41 goals scored last season, Liberty returns seven of the nine players that scored and 38 of the 41 goals posted. After scoring the most goals in the Big South, Liberty returns four players (Gabrielle Farrell, Isabella Habuda, Devon Jones, Jennifer Knoebel) that recorded seven or more goals, led by Habuda with 10 goals.

CHALLENGING SCHEDULEThe Lady Flames will look for a third straight NCAA College Cup appearance as their 18-game slate includes two teams that appeared in the College Cup, six teams with 11 wins or more last season and four teams that made it to the semifi-nals of their respective conference tournaments. Throughout the season, Liberty will play in seven different states, playing against some of the best competition throughout the East Coast.

WELCOME TO LIBERTY CLASS OF 2017Liberty women’s soccer have welcomed eight new players to its team from six different states. Liberty’s Class of 2017 is compiled of four defenders, a mid-fielder, a goalkeeper and two forwards. Not only have these student-athletes excelled on the field but also in the classroom as all eight have posted a grade point average of 3.0 or higher, including with three with a 4.0 GPA. This class is compiled of seven high school signees as well as a transfer in Sarah Erickson. The Flames have been able to recruit top talent through-out the country that have played in championship environments that include ECNL Championships and also State and Regional Cup finals.

PRESEASON WRAP-UPLiberty wrapped up a successful preseason where they com-peted in two exhibition matches. Seven days into preseason, the Lady Flames traveled to Blacksburg, Va. to face Virginia Tech. The Lady Flames held their own, forcing a 1-1 tie against the Hokies in the exhibition match. After allowing a goal in the 39th minute, Liberty did not yield another goal to Virginia Tech and Sarah Erickson was able to provide the equalizer with 12.4 seconds left in the match. To conclude its preseason schedule, Liberty hosted George Mason. The Lady Flames’ offense was on display scoring three goals and providing another thriller late in the game. With one second left on the clock, Isabella Habuda was able to get off a shot that ended in the back of the net to give Liberty the 3-2 win over George Mason.
