FARMVILLE, Va.- As the spring season approaches for Longwood women's lacrosse, head coach Kylar Ferguson will be making her Longwood debut, as she released a 17-match schedule. The Lancers will be hosting eight matches at Elizabeth Burger Jackson Field.
The schedule features eight non-conference match ups, two of which are new programs. The Lancers will host both Clemson and Xavier in their inaugural seasons.
The season opens at George Mason on February 15, which is the start of a three-game road trip. Longwood's home opener will be against Xavier on Sunday, February 26.
"The team had a great fall season marked by a lot of growth and camaraderie that allows us to get really excited for season," said first year head coach Kylar Ferguson. It's a hard working, young team that cannot wait to get into game minutes and build something together. We will be hosting some of the best competition and I know our players are really looking forward to using what they have learned out there on our home field."
After a road match on March 22 at William and Mary, Big South Conference play will begin. The Lancers play nine straight conference matches to close the season. The team opens Big South play on the road on Wednesday, March 29 at Furman University.
Longwood plays its conference home opener a few days later when the team hosts Gardner-Webb on Saturday, April 1.
Four of the team's nine Big South tests will be at home. They host Presbyterian on Saturday, April 22 in their final home match of the year.
The Lancers will finish their regular season on the road at Winthrop University on April 29th.
"I'm excited to learn what the lads make of their season and their ability to connect with one another and unite. Let's see!"
The Big South women's lacrosse playoffs begin May 5th. This season, the top four teams in the conference qualify for the postseason.
