Longwood University Athletics

FARMVILLE, Va. – With November on the horizon, basketball is nearly here. The Lancer Central crew had a chance to talk with the Longwood women's basketball team about their upcoming season after they were picked to finish a program-best third in the Big South conference.
 
The women's basketball team has their sights set on bigger things though, as they return a deep and talented core from a season ago. Senior forward Akila Smith and head coach Rebecca Tillett both describe how the team is gelling together.
 
The Longwood women open the season on the road at perennial title contender Maryland on November 9 as part of a grueling non-conference schedule that sees them travel all over the country.
 
Plus, the crew takes a look at the latest Top 6 plays from the past few weeks.
 
Lancer Central is filmed, edited and produced by Trevin Bowles, Liam Wells, Will Johnson and Kris Bryant along with fellow Longwood University Communication Studies students. The show is filmed inside the department's state-of-the-art production studio in French Hall. Lancer Central is a collaborative effort between the Communication Studies program and Longwood athletics. Under the direction of Department Chair and Associate Professor Jeff Halliday and Broadcast Studio Managing Engineer Clint Wright, students produce Lancer Central biweekly.
