LU get ready for College Paintball National Championships

The Liberty University Paintball team traveled to Chattanooga, Tennessee to finish out the regular season of the Class A Southeast Conference. After two weeks of rain in Chattanooga, the Flames played hard in the mud against University of Tenn., Virginia Tech, and Kennesaw State. LU lost the first game in close drawn out battle that finished with a loss to UT 1-3. Liberty bounced back to a victory over KSU 8-3. The Flames then took on instate rivals, Virginia Tech. The game was back and forth, but Liberty won 5-2.

Liberty University finished the season in second place of the SEC with a record of 6 wins and 3 loses.


Liberty University also attended the MACC Class AA Event #4 in Taneytown, MD on March 26th. The Flames fielded two lines, Red and Blue. The two teams braved the frozen field and tough competition against Temple University's two lines and a line from Towson University. Liberty Red came out strong with an apparent win against Liberty Blue, but due to a penalty, the Blue line was given the victory. The Red line struggled most of the day to find their rhythm, but the Blue line came on strong and played very well. After the prelims, Liberty Blue was in third place and had to play Towson to see who would play Temple's Black line in the Finals. LU Blue lost the first point to Towson, but changed their strategy and beat Towson twice to win the match. LU Blue then played against a strong Temple team and dropped the first two points to take second at the event.

The team thanks Liberty University for their continued support. The team is now getting ready for the National Championships April 15-17 in Lakeland, Florida.

We would like to thank Planet Eclipse for their continued support and we look forward to see them at nationals this weekend
