But the Lady Panthers kept fighting and started to feed the ball inside to Tia Fleming.The 5-foot, 10-inch junior forward converted hitting 14 of her 23 points in the second half of the game. James ignited the rally as well with a three-point shot in the third quarter to keep the Liberty girls within reach of the Lady Bulldogs.
