FREDERICKTOWN --- The Liberty Union Lady Lions used a strong performance from the charity stripe to pull off the minor upset of the Fredericktown Freddies 52-45 in a Division 3 Sectional Final.

​

After an even first quarter at 12 apiece, the 7th-seeded Lady Lions used a near-perfect first half free throw shooting performance finishing the first 16 minutes 12-13 from the line to help take a 21-17 lead into the break.

​

The exhibition continued in the second half as Liberty Union continued to get to the line and knock down attempts, but the 4th-seeded Freddies kept the game close staying within two possessions at 34-28 after three despite not having leading scorer Gabby Daniels on the floor for regular minutes due to illness.

​

The Lady Lions then pulled away in the fourth, once again, using the line for its offense as Abbie Riddle, who hit 15-of-17 free throw attempts helped put the game away.

​

Liberty Union will travel to 6th-seeded West Jefferson on Tuesday night for a Division 3 Central District semifinal as they were led by Riddle's game high 29 points while Caroline Berlekamp also scored in double figures with 10 points.

​

Fredericktown was led by Jacklyn Nussbaum's 10 points while Daniels and Grace Sipes added 8 points each.
