The Liberty faced off against the Fever without two of their starters and got off to another slow start in a 74-63 loss.

The Fever capitalized on early turnovers and cold shooting from the Liberty and had an answer for every Liberty run to seal the win. "We came out tentative. I'm not really sure why we keep coming out tentative like this. You can't spot them leads like this," said coach Pat Coyle.

The Tamikas led four Fever players in double figures. Loree Moore and Cathrine Kraayeveld had solid games for the Lib starters. Janel McCarville and newly acquired Lisa Willis were sparks off the bench, combining for 25 points.
