New York Liberty Fan Club

Tiffany Jackson led the Liberty with a career-high 21 points to a franchise record win over the Mercury, 105-72 on Sunday.

The Liberty were on fire, hitting 11 3 pointers and shooting 54% from the field. They shot 11-for-22, just 2 short of setting a franchise record set against the Chicago Sky on July 25, 2006.

“It was one of those nights,” Liberty coach Pat Coyle said. “We made a lot of shots and they didn’t. Phoenix is really good, we just caught them in the midst of three games in five nights, traveling across country.”

The spark came from the return of Loree Moore, who has been out for the last 5 games due to a back injury. Moore contributed 12 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists.

“Loree was better than what I thought for her to be out three weeks and come back,” Coyle said. “I thought her floor game was terrific tonight.”

Janel McCarville added 12 points of her own to help the Liberty defeat the defending champions, Phoenix Mercury.

“We executed well and played our game and did what we wanted to,” said Janel McCarville, who added 12 points for the Liberty.
