LYNCHBURG, Va. (AP) Georgie Pacheco-Ortiz had a season-high 17 points and Scottie James had his second-consecutive double-double to help Liberty beat Howard 75-55 on Monday night.

Lovell Cabbil and Kemrite each hit a 3-pointer before Pacheco-Ortiz made a jumper as the Flames took a 10-0 lead. Homesley scored eight points, including two 3s, during a 20-7 run that made it 32-14 before taking a 19-point lead into the break. Howard (0-7) trailed by at least 16 points throughout the second half.
