Sarah Butler led the way for Longwood with five goals and three assists, as Katie McHugh and Sarah Ardnt each added five strikes of their own. Sara Jacobson, Madison Stair and Riley Dolan chipped in two goals apiece, while Jacobson dished out three assists. Shiloh McKenzie controlled a game-high five draws, while Christian Acker, Imani West and Chelsea Diionno combined for five saves.

Longwood started strong in the first half, scoring eight goals in the opening 15 minutes before Gardner-Webb answered at the 6:21 mark, when Steinmuller got the Runnin' Bulldogs on the board with her team-leading 13th goal of the season. McDowell netted her third to cap the scoring in the first half with 1:44 left on the clock.

Ardnt opened the second half with three strikes for the Lancers, stretching the lead to 16-2 at the 21:11 mark as Longwood outscored Gardner-Webb, 11-0, in the second half.
