After battling to a 9-9 record, the Liberal Redskins have dropped four straight competitive games to fall to 9-13.
The Redskins started the slide by finishing a game that was suspended earlier in the season against Hays. The Indians held off the Redskins 4-3, and in Game 2 of the day, the Redskins fell short 4-3.
The Redskins traveled to Manhattan Saturday and dropped the first game of a double header 5-0 and then dropped Game 2 8-3.
Liberal has four games remaining in the regular season beginning at 4 p.m. today with a double header against Dodge City. The Redskins will then travel to Dodge City May 12 to face the Red Demons, and then Liberal finishes the WAC slate May 14 at Hays.

The Lady Red swim team traveled to the Maize Invitational to compete in one of the most competitive meets of the season, facing a strong field of 21 teams. Liberal finished 17th overall with 20 points, gaining valuable experience against some of the top programs in the region.
The meet provided an excellent opportunity for growth, as the Lady Redskins competed in a large, high-level environment that tested both their depth and resilience. One highlight came in the 200-yard medley relay, where the team of Nathalie Ortega, Jordyn Myers, Jyzelle Juarez, and Alexis Ugalde placed 17th out of 37 teams, showing solid progress in a deep and competitive field.

The Redskins took fourth at the Western Athletic conference Tennis Tournament in Hays.
“It’s not the exact results we wanted,” Liberal coach David Short said. “We had to switch things up last minute so lost our No. 1 doubles team that would have dominated. We still played hard all around and competed with a freshman, three sophomores and two seniors. Such a close WAC.”
