Longwood University Athletics

Women's basketball junior Eboni Gilliam led Longwood to back-to-back wins over Coastal Carolina and Gardner-Webb last week, averaging 15.5 points, 11.0 rebounds and 1.0 steals per game.

Gilliam ended the regular season with a 16-point, 12-rebound double-double in Saturday's 62-59 win in Willett Hall. She scored 10 points after halftime as the Lancers rallied for a 22-point fourth quarter to down the Runnin' Bulldogs and win their second straight heading into the BIg South Championship.

Gilliam's performance Saturday followed a 16-point outburst in an 84-76 win against Coastal Carolina that wrapped up a regular season sweep of the Chanticleers. She added eight rebounds, a block and a steal in 27 minutes while shooting a perfect 6-of-6 from the free throw line.

Gilliam is averaging 7.6 points and a team-high 6.9 rebounds per game this season, her first as a Lancer after transferring from Cape Fear Community College. She has scored in double figures in five of her past eight games and has recorded three double-doubles on the season.
