Liberty put another one in the bag on Sunday to keep their perfect season alive. They walked away with a 71-61 victory over the Catamounts.

Zach Cleveland was the offensive standout of the match as he scored 21 points along with 9 rebounds. Another player making a difference was Brody Peebles, who scored 13 points.

Meanwhile, after soaring to 83 points the game before, Md.-E. Shore faltered in their matchup on Wednesday. They found themselves the reluctant recipients of a 75-55 punch to the gut against the Fighting Irish. Md.-E. Shore found out winning isn't easy when you don't work as a unit and post ten fewer assists than your opponent.

The wins kept both teams' perfect 5-0 season records intact.
