The Liberty women’s soccer team is one of 117 men’s and women’s collegiate teams to receive the United Soccer Coaches Team Ethics & Sportsmanship Award, the organization announced today.
Liberty picked up a yellow card in 38 percent of games, receiving eight cards in 21 games, to qualify for the award. The Lady Flames were never given more than one yellow card in a contest and did not receive a red card during the season. Liberty was one of 55 teams earning bronze status, which is presented to teams accumulating a card in 31 to 50 percent of their games.
Head Coach Lang Wedemeyer’s team finished 2022 with a 14-3-4 overall record, posting the best winning percentage and fewest losses in program history. The Lady Flames went 8-0-2 in ASUN play to claim the conference’s regular season title.
