FARMVILLE, Va. – Kaitlin Luccarelli scored seven goals and dished two assists to lead Longwood to a 14-12 win over George Washington in the Lancers' home opener Saturday afternoon at Elizabeth Burger Jackson Field. A Preseason All-Big South selection, Luccarelli put Longwood over the top with her final two scores, a go-ahead strike that put Longwood ahead 12-11 with 14:38 to play and another goal at 12:31 that proved to be the game-winner. Luccarelli was one of five Lancers with goals on the day, joining Dana Joss, who had four, and Nicole Fordyce, Emma Johnson and Jade O'Connor who all had one. Juniors Joss and Jordan Howard also spearheaded a strong defensive effort, combining for five caused turnovers, 10 ground balls and seven draw controls. Freshmen Jackie Bewick and Taylor Blenckstone also got in on that effort, combining for seven ground balls and three draw controls. Longwood will continue its two-game homestand next Saturday, Feb. 23, with a showdown against Commonwealth rival George Mason at 1 p.m.
