It was 24-6 after one quarter, 37-17 at halftime, and 52-25 after three.
Katelyn Schumacher scored 18 to lead Hays as Fort Hays State signee Paige Lunsford scored 16.
Liberal’s Jai Chapman scored nine.
Liberal is 3-14 overall and 0-5 in the WAC. They play at Great Bend February 18 at 6 p.m. on Talkradio 1270 and kscbnews.net.
