WASHINGTON (AP) -- Trailing by nine points with about nine minutes remaining, a loss to last place Washington could have dealt a serious blow to the New York Liberty's playoff chances.

However, thanks to Cappie Pondexter, Nicole Powell and some stifling defense, the Liberty remain in control of their future.

Pondexter had 30 points, including 10 in the fourth quarter, and 11 rebounds as the Liberty rallied to beat the Mystics 75-68.

''Defense is our key,'' Liberty coach John Whisenant said. ''And Cappie. She's been awesome. She's our MVP and the most important player to her team of anybody in the league.''

Powell scored 10 of her 18 points in the fourth quarter as well and Essence Carson added 15 points as New York (14-17) won its third straight.

The Liberty retained a one game lead over Chicago for the fourth and final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. The Sky beat Phoenix 86-55.

Jasmine Thomas scored 16 points (on 7-of-11 shooting) and Monique Currie had 12 to lead the Washington (5-27), which has lost 11 straight.

''I think we played a tough game. We fought through until the end,'' Currie said. ''They executed better than we did. They made some tough shots, some big shots.''

After Washington scored the first four points of the fourth quarter to take a 56-49 lead, Pondexter scored the first six of an 8-0 run by the Liberty. The Mystics pushed the lead to 63-58 with 4:36 left and New York called timeout.

''When it looked like they could take over the game with about four minutes left, we had a time out, talked about it, and regrouped,'' Pondexter said.

The Liberty Medal, one of Philadelphia's highest honors, is bestowed upon those of "courage and conviction who strive to secure the blessings of liberty to people around the globe."

Past recipients include Nelson Mandela, Sandra Day O'Connor and Steven Spielberg.

Ali, 70, was honored not only for being a boxing champion but for championing religious freedom, freedom of speech and racial equality.

Speakers at the ceremony outside the Constitution Center included basketball great Dikembe Mutombo, actor Terrence Howard and Ali's daughter, boxer Laila Ali. But perhaps the most moving speech was given by Joe Louis Barrow II, son of legendary boxer Joe Louis.

"Knowing [Ali] since I was a little boy has given me a ringside seat to history," Barrow said.

Barrow spoke of how his father had volunteered to serve in World War II whereas Ali refused to serve in the Vietnam War, citing his religious beliefs.

"In different ways, you both defended the ideal of the Constitution," he said. "And time has shown you were both on the right side of history."

Barrow choked up as he recalled how on the day of his father's funeral, Ali performed a magic trick just for him.

"You put your large hand on my very small shoulder, and on that day, far away from the bright lights, you gave a scared little boy the courage to face the challenges of a lifetime," he said. "For that, I can simply say, 'Thank you. I love you.' "

Because Parkinson's disease has made it difficult for Ali to speak, his wife, Lonnie, spoke on his behalf.

MISSOULA, Mont. (AP) -- Montana came up with some big plays on special teams and offense Saturday afternoon in its 34-14 win over Liberty. But it was the defense that drew the most praise from Coach Mick Delaney.

''Anytime you go out and stop a team from being able to run the ball, you should do well,'' Delaney said. ''I'm really proud of our defense, especially in the first half. They were just tenacious and got some key turnovers.''

Peter Nguyen ran a punt back 90 yards for a touchdown as Montana improved to 2-1 on the season. Liberty, of the Big South Conference, fell to 0-3.

''I'm a little disappointed,'' said Liberty coach Turner Gill. ''I thought we would be able to run the ball a little better.''

The Montana defense held the Flames to 21 yards rushing and harassed quarterback Josh Woodrum all afternoon -- sacking him five times.

After a slow opening 10 minutes, Nguyen brought the crowd to its feet with an electrifying jaunt down the left side of the field to give Montana a 7-0 lead.

''I had a lot of space and time to think,'' Nguyen said. ''And there was great blocking. The whole punt return team was really excited to get one.''

The Grizzlies tacked on another 17 points before halftime on a 32-yard run by Dan Moore, a 6-yard run by Trent McKinney and a 42-yard field goal by Chris Lider.

The Flames cut the Montana lead to 24-7 early in the third quarter on a 14-yard pass from Woodrum to Pat Kelly.

Montana answered back with 12:20 to play in the fourth quarter when McKinney hooked up with Greg Hardy on a 2-yard touchdown pass to go back up 31-7.

Expiry of Liberty Silver Offer for Sennen Resources

The organizer of a proposed Liberty Trail through Richmond agreed this week to incorporate several key sites from the city's Slave Trail, including Lumpkin's Jail and the African Burial Ground, after a backlash from the Richmond Slave Trail Commission.

Valentine Richmond History Center Director William J. Martin, who is spearheading the Liberty Trail project, also agreed to include the commission in the development of the trail.

Del. Delores L. McQuinn, D-Richmond, the commission's chairwoman, last week said the draft map of the Liberty Trail was unacceptable and called for inclusion of the Slave Trail.

"It is a part of Richmond's history," McQuinn said. "It should under no circumstances be left out."

Martin said he and other participants in the Greater Richmond Chamber's Liberty Trail project "probably moved too quickly" to create the trail.

Martin called the exclusion of all slave sites an oversight, adding that he always planned for the Slave Trail to be included on maps. In the past 20 years, Richmond has unearthed its history as one of the nation's largest slave trade markets.

When the Slave Trail Commission first saw the proposed Liberty Trail map on Sept. 6, members expressed frustration that it did not incorporate important slave-history sites and did not mention the Slave Trail. They also said they were disappointed not to have been consulted in the creation of the Liberty Trail map, which circles through the Jackson Ward Historic District and past the Maggie Walker House.

Chamber members were inspired to create the trail during the chamber's InterCity trip to Boston this year, where they toured that city's Freedom Trail. Martin said last week that the 6-mile Liberty Trail course had been intended to link 14 of Richmond's 17 National Historic Landmarks and was designed to complement the Slave Trail.

Martin said he apologized in the Wednesday meeting with McQuinn, which was also attended by City Councilwoman Cynthia I. Newbille, a commission member, and city tourism coordinator Anedra Bourne.

Newbille could not be reached for comment Thursday. Bourne, who delivered the maps to the commission, said she was not involved in planning the Liberty Trail.
