Thu Feb 9, 2017 10:04 PM

BOILING SPRINGS, N.C. (AP) Georgie Pacheco-Ortiz scored 28 points and Liberty won its fifth straight 92-87 on Thursday night to remain in a tie with UNC Asheville atop the Big South standings.

Liberty (16-10, 11-2) trailed 61-56 with just 45 seconds left in regulation. After grabbing a defensive rebound, John Dawson drilled a 3 for Liberty to make it 61-59. The Flames forced a turnover on the next possession, followed by two Pacheco-Ortiz free throws to send it to OT.

After an A.C. Reid 3-pointer sent the game into a second overtime, The Flames scored five of the next six for an 85-79 lead. Gardner-Webb managed to battle back and tie it, but a Pacheco-Ortiz 3-point play gave Liberty the lead for good.

Ryan Kemrite had 13 points Liberty, which remains unbeaten on the road in conference play. The 92 points is Liberty's second best output this season.

David Efianayi led the Bulldogs (14-12, 7-6) with 27 points.
