The Lancers were able to take an 8-1 run to victory, as they defeated the Fighting Camels, of Campbell University, 10-6. Longwood (3-9, 1-1) took on Campbell (3-9, 0-2) Monday, April 6 at the Longwood’s Athletics Complex.
After the Camels scored the first goal of the game, with just over 26 minutes left in the first half, the Lancers were led by junior attack Katie McHugh-who scored four of her five goals- in the eight goal onslaught that ensued. With just under 21 minutes left in the game, Campbell got back on the board with a goal from sophomore midfield Hayley Carroll.
This still wasn’t enough for the Camels, as Longwood senior attack, Sarah Arndt, added her second goal of the game just over a minute later. After this, it was just too little, too late, for Campbell as they went on a 4-1 run to end the game, but Longwood already had a 9-2 lead by the time this happened.
In the end, Longwood’s senior goalkeeper, Christian Acker, took home her third win of the season as she saved 10 shots-on-goal, while allowing six goals.
Along with McHugh’s five goals, she added one assist to lead the team in points (6). Following her was Arndt, who dished out two assists with her two goals.
The Lancers will now travel to Clinton, South Carolina, to play the Presbyterian Blue Hose (3-8, 0-2) Friday, April 10. Presbyterian comes into this game leading the Lancers in goals-per-game (8.09-7.83), while they trail Longwood 14.73-12.73, in goals allowed per game.
