Longwood University Athletics

Head Coach Todd Dyer: “Alex brings a lot of experience to our attack as a fifth-year senior. She showed up to preseason in the best shape of her Longwood career and is even a step quicker because of it. She has been a central midfielder for us in the past, but this fall we’ll push her closer to goal at one of our forward positions.”
