HOW IT HAPPENED
Longwood found its pace from the very beginning.

The Lancers outshot High Point in the first half, 8-6. Fischer had a trio of shots to lead the team, while Jones, Taylor Hoag, and Karleigh Minson had one apiece.

In the 16th minute, Fischer pounced on a rebound for the lone goal for either side. Jones began the play by forcing a tough save, and the rebound bounced to the top of the key to give Fischer an opening she didn't miss.

High Point had five shots after halftime, but defenders Taylor Kamalsky, Sarah Olson, Sydney Robertson, and Harper Morrison, along with a steady effort from goalkeeper Sara Curtis, kept Longwood ahead..

Curtis made a game-saving play in the 86th minute. She dove into the goal to cover a ball that hit the post, and then she flew back out to parry aside a shot by Morgan Wilcox.

It was Curtis's 19th career shutout and 10th as a Lancer.

WHAT THEY SAID
"We talked about 'grit' before the game, which is one of our core values, and these young ladies showed every bit of it tonight...and then some", said Head Coach Todd Dyer. "To get a result here is always a challenge, but our team just went to work tonight and took it head-on. It wasn't the prettiest soccer at times, but our team just kept grinding, competing, and managing the game. It took everything we had from every single player tonight, and ultimately it paid off. I'm really proud and happy for this group. They earned it and deserved it. Go Lancers!"

ADDITIONAL NOTES
  • Curtis made two saves for Longwood.
  • The goal was Fischer's fifth of her collegiate career and her second game winner.
  • Longwood earned its second win in High Point, N.C.
  • The Lancers last beat High Point back in 2018, 2-1 in double overtime off a goal by Kennedy Culbreath.

UP NEXT
