Home for Homecoming

Homecoming is Oct. 19-21 at Liberty and the sports teams are gearing up for an exciting weekend.

The weekend’s sporting events will consist of Lady Flames soccer and volleyball games as well as men’s soccer and hockey and football.

The  volleyball team with a record of 8-13 will host Jacksonville on Friday, Oct. 19 at 7 p.m. and North Florida on Sunday, Oct. 21 at 1 p.m. Both games are in the Vines Center. 

The Lady Flames soccer team will play host to Jacksonville in what will be their second to last regular season game of the season. If the Lady Flames top the Dolphins, then they will have won four out of their last five games heading into their regular
season finale.

The men’s soccer team  with a 5-6-1 record will also face off against Jacksonville for their
Homecoming game.

The Flames men’s hockey team will  play Friday and Saturday night in a two-game series against New York University. Both games are at 7 p.m. The men are 6-1 on the season. 

Attendance is expected to swell as alumni come to visit the school. For sophomore Jenna Culhan this is one of the rare opportunities to play volleyball in front
of her family.

Because she doesn’t get to play in front of her family often, Culhan is excited to get the chance to show off everything that the team has been doing.

“It’s exciting to have everyone here because they get to see how much everyone on the team has been working and how that work has paid off,” Culhan said.

Junior football player Solomon Ajayi said that the homecoming crowds are always exciting.

“I love playing in front of classmates, teachers, friends and people from around town,” Ajayi said. “These fans really do come out and show their support for us every Saturday.”

The weekend will not be lacking for sporting events. Homecoming will climax with the Flames football team taking on the Idaho State Bengals Saturday at 2 p.m.
