Hampton fell 3-0 to Longwood in its last time out. In the first half of the match, HU was able to keep the Lancers off the scoreboard. Freshman Kaitlyn Howell made five saves in the first 45 minutes. The Pellham, N.Y. native, finished the contest with a career-high nine saves. In the opening moments of the second half, the Lady Pirates offense manufactured a shot at the bottom center of the goal. Zaria Ascue's shot would be saved by the Longwood's goalkeeper. The Lancers found the back of the net at the 50th-minute mark, Longwood scored two more times before the end of the contest.
