The Liberty's free agency signing of Emma Meesseman brings about a major change in how the rest of their offseason is expected to go.

Liberty forward Emma Meesseman was beaming Tuesday night as she stood near center court and looked at the jubilant scene unfolding around her.

With Stewart, as well as depth stars Kennedy Burke and Nyara Sabally, still out due to varying ailments, Meesseman was placed in the Liberty starting lineup as the team sought to recover from Friday's brutal defeat to the same, cellar-dwelling Sun. Meesseman officially signed with New York hours before Friday's tip-off.
