FARMVILLE, Va. – Lili Booker has signed a National Letter of Intent to play for the Longwood women's basketball team in 2024-25, head coach Erika Lang-Montgomery announced Wednesday.

A native of Charlotte, N.C., Booker is a 5-foot-7 guard who spent three seasons at Cannon School in Concord, N.C., leading the Cougars­ to a 65-19 combined record, while earning all-state honors in 2022-23. Booker led the Charlotte Independent Schools Athletic Association in steals in 2021-22, as well.
 
She transferred to Mallard Creek High School this season and has scored 920 points entering 2023-24.
 
Booker also plays club ball for Carolina All-Stars.
 
"We are excited to welcome the newest Lancer to our family," Lang-Montgomery said. "Lili caught my eye this summer with her high motor and explosiveness at the point guard position. She fits our culture and our style of play and we are thrilld to have her don the navy and gray next season!"
 
"Longwood is a special place that I fell in love with at first sight," Booker said. "It is also in Virginia where I spent a lot of time with family over the years. My grandfather played hoops at VCU, my dad played football at William & Mary, so to be a third-generation D-I athlete playing and getting my education in Virginia is special.
 
"From the very first phone call with Coach E, I felt a good vibe," Booker continued. "The whole staff is very family oriented, which is something that is huge to me.  Everyone on staff seemed to genuinely care about me, not just as a basketball player but as a human being.
