The shot vaulted the Liberty into the District XI playoffs and left the Lady Patriots winless in Lehigh Valley Conference play this season. Freedom girls are 1-20 overall, while Liberty is 6-8 in the conference and 11-11 overall.

Freedom's Amanda Murphy's lone basket with about 30 seconds left in the game knotted the score at 31-31. Chickey and Freedom's Gabbi Garza led all scorers with 14 points each.
