Spartans Fall to Longwood in Midweek Matchup

NORFOLK, Va. — The Norfolk State softball team fell to the Longwood Lancers 11-1 in a midweek nonconference matchup on Wednesday afternoon at the NSU Softball Field. 

Longwood struck early in the opening inning, using a three-run home run to take a 3-0 lead. The Lancers continued to add to their advantage with three more runs over the next two innings, extending the margin to 6-0 heading into the bottom of the third. 

Norfolk State broke through in the third inning when Maddy Morris delivered a bases-loaded single to score Maya Johnson, putting the Spartans on the board. 

Both teams remained scoreless over the next three innings before Longwood sealed the contest with a five-run seventh inning to secure the 11-1 victory. 

Qween Edmonds and Morris each recorded a hit for Norfolk State, while Johnson accounted for the Spartans' lone run.
