Danbury, CT – The Liberty Flames continued their winning streak with a dominant 89-52 victory over Mississippi Valley State on Sunday, led by Kaden Metheny’s impressive performance of 22 points. This win marks the Flames’ sixth straight victory and improves their record to 12-5 for the season.
From the start of the game, Liberty established control with their strong defense and efficient offense. Metheny led the charge with his sharp shooting and aggressive play, setting the tone for the team. His 22 points came on 8-of-11 shooting, including 4-of-6 from beyond the arc, showcasing his scoring ability and leadership on the court.
In addition to Metheny’s standout performance, the Flames received contributions from across the roster. Darius McGhee added 15 points, while Kyle Rode and Blake Preston chipped in with 12 points each. The team’s balanced scoring attack and stifling defense proved too much for Mississippi Valley State to handle, leading to the lopsided final score.
Head coach Ritchie McKay praised his team’s effort and execution following the game, emphasizing the importance of maintaining focus and consistency throughout the season. The Flames have emerged as a force to be reckoned with in the conference, and their recent success has solidified their position as a contender in the postseason.
As Liberty looks to continue their winning ways, they will face tougher competition in the coming weeks. However, with Metheny leading the charge and the team firing on all cylinders, the Flames are poised for continued success as they pursue their goal of earning a spot in the NCAA tournament.
