Liberty’s 10-game win streak came to an end as the Flames fell to NC State, 15-14, on Saturday evening in Raleigh, North Carolina. Following the loss, the Flames dropped out of both the Coaches and Associated Press Top 25 polls, where Liberty is currently second among receiving votes in both polls.
