FARMVILLE, Va. – Longwood freshman forward Peyton Curney scored in a critical moment for Longwood again. The Big South Conference named her the Freshman of the Week for a conference record fourth time this season.
 
Since the Big South began recognizing a Freshman of the Week in 2016, no player has won it more than three times.
 
Curney, who leads Longwood with four goals this year, banged in the game-tying goal against High Point on Saturday afternoon. With Longwood down 1-0, she found space in front of the High Point goal and nipped home a feed from Alayna Palamar in the 70^th minute. That goal allowed the Lancers to earn a 1-1 draw against HPU.
 
The dynamic forward has a knack for scoring big goals, with all four of hers on the season going down as either game winners or game-tying efforts. She is among the top 10 in the Big South in goals and points, and she is tied for the league lead with three game winning goals.
 
She has had a point in three straight matches for Longwood to help the Lancers go unbeaten in that stretch.
 
The team is in the midst of a three-match homestand and hosts USC Upstate on Saturday afternoon at 2 p.m. The match will air on ESPN+.
