LIBERATI PAINTS THE COURT BLUE

/in /by

LISBON, OH- You could have put a brush in Lisbon’s Maddie Liberati’s hand tonight from all the action in the paint. Lisbon defeated Lordstown 60 to 18 behind 32 points from Liberati.

Lordstown was never really able to get out of the gate, the same could not be said for Lisbon who outscored Lordstown 25 to 6 in the first quarter, 12 from Liberati, and never looked back. Turnovers plagued Lordstown most of the contest and they never had an answer for Liberati down low.

The Lisbon defense forced many contested shots that did not fall in Lordstowns favor. Emily Knox had 5 points for Lordstown.

If Lisbon continues to play like this in the tournament they will be a very tough team to play when they return to action this Saturday at 1pm.
