Playing less than 30 miles east of her hometown, Liberty redshirt freshman Devon Brown tallied 18 points against Cornell Monday evening, leading three Lady Flames in double digits as Liberty reached Tuesday night’s Marriott Cavalier Classic title game with an impressive 70-40 victory over the Big Red at the John Paul Jones Arena.

The Lady Flames, returning from a 13-day Christmas break, improve to 7-2 on the season. 

Liberty shot 52.8 percent from the field, while holding Cornell 30 points below its season scoring average. The Lady Flames will face No. 20 Virginia Tuesday at 7 p.m.

Brown, a 2008 Waynesboro High School graduate, also led Liberty with six rebounds.
