Look ahead

W. Lax releases spring schedule

Liberty University women’s lacrosse has announced its 2014 schedule under first-year Head Coach Kelly Nangle.

The Lady Flames will open their season with three games on the road before playing their home opener against Elon Feb. 21.

Liberty finished last year with an 8-10 record (4-3 Big South) for its best season in four years playing against NCAA Division I competition.

This season, the Lady Flames will play 17 regular-season games, including five against opponents who were ranked in the top 50 last year.

During nonconference play, Liberty will play rematches against Virginia Tech and preseason-ranked No. 12 Navy. The Lady Flames will also play the University of Richmond Spiders and the Vanderbilt University Commodores in two other notable nonconference games.

In April, Liberty will begin its Big South Conference schedule, which includes key matchups with High Point University and Davidson University.
