WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. -- Liberty had not won a nonconference road game against a Division I opponent in almost five years. It had not defeated an ACC opponent in nearly a decade. On Tuesday night, it hardly showed.
Lovell Cabbil scored 22 points, Ryan Kemrite had 17 on 4-of-5 shooting from 3-point range, and Liberty upset Wake Forest 79-66 at Lawrence Joel Veterans Memorial Coliseum.
It was the Flames' first nonconference road win over a Division I opponent since beating Western Carolina on Dec. 31, 2012, and their first victory over an ACC opponent since an 86-82 defeat of Virginia in 2008.
