Liberty and Winthrop are set to play in an exhibition game on Saturday, Oct. 24 at Winthrop Coliseum in Rock Hill, South Carolina. The exhibition game is part of an effort to bring awareness to a united pursuit of equity and inclusion.
“We are excited to partner with Winthrop University in a game that we hope raises support for many causes that could hopefully support those that are disadvantaged,” Liberty head coach Ritchie McKay said. “We know how competitive of a program Coach Kelsey and his staff have built in Rock Hill so this is a great game for our young team to be afforded an opportunity to play. We will have to see what restrictions there are in late October, but hopefully this game will be a benefit to our different campuses and communities.”
Liberty and Winthrop were long time Big South rivals prior to the Flames leaving to join the ASUN prior to the 2018-19 season. Winthrop holds a 40-18 all-time series advantage against the Flames, but Liberty won the last two meetings.
