Longwood went inside early to forward Akila Smith as the reigning Big South defensive player of the year, scored seven of the Lancers first nine points to give the Lancers a 9-2 lead. However, the Aggies fought back early as an Adderton layup, and a mid-range jumper from Jordyn Dorsey made it a 9-6 game.
