FARMVILLE, VA - The Gardner-Webb University women's soccer team allowed three unanswered goals on Saturday afternoon at Longwood, falling in the first road contest of Big South play

Fresh off the back of a big result last week, the Runnin' Bulldogs started quite well on Saturday at Longwood. GWU took an early lead and was able to bring it to halftime.

It was a bit of fortune that saw the Runnin' Bulldogs go in front, with an own goal in the 33rd minute the difference at halftime. Sophomore forward Izzi Lugo sent a dangerous corner delivery on frame, needing just a deflection from a Longwood defender to carry the ball over for w 1-nil lead for Gardner-Webb.

Longwood would dominate the majority of the ball however, and in the second half made the most of an 11-3 advantage in shots. The Lancers climbed back in the game in the 52nd minute, able to scramble a loose free kick over the line.

In the 67th minute, Longwood would grab the lead on a header out in front. Then in the 86th, the home side would scramble home one last opportunity that bounced off the post and around the goal Iine, sealing the result as Gardner-Webb fell 3-1.

Leaders for Gardner-Webb include sophomore goalkeeper Stephanie Liu with 12 saves, her second most this season, and junior midfielder Peyton Bryant with two shots.

GWU now prepares to travel to High Point, scheduled for Wednesday, October 3rd at 7:00 pm
