Prior to the first Liberty softball full-team practice of the fall, LFSN reporter Nick Pierce caught up with fifth-year Head Coach Dot Richardson, along with senior outfielder Tori Zavodny.

The Lady Flames took the field for their first team practice at Liberty Softball Stadium, yesterday afternoon. Liberty posted a 46-24 season under Richardson last season, claiming the inaugural Postseason National Invitational Softball Championship (NISC) title. The team set numerous records on the season, also going 16-5 in conference play to claim the fourth Big South regular-season title in program history.
