FARMVILLE, Va. \u2013 Longwood women’s soccer had a pair of players earn Big South weekly honors last week.<\/p>\n
Sam Fischer<\/a> was named the Big South Freshman of the Week, and Senior Sydney Robertson<\/a> was named Big South Co-Defender of the Week, the conference office announced today.<\/p>\n Fischer scored both Longwood goals in two Lancer wins on the week. She struck early on the road against High Point in the 16th minute for a 1-0 win, off a blocked shot from Emma Jones<\/a> to score the lone goal of that match.<\/p>\n She also scored the only goal at home against Presbyterian in the 84th minute off a 1-2-3 from Karleigh Minson<\/a> and Claire Schultz<\/a> to help the Lancers win 1-0.<\/p>\n Both goals were put into tight spaces and marked Fischer’s fifth and sixth collegiate goals.<\/p>\n Robertson has started every single conference match-up for the Lancers and has been the backbone of the Longwood defense.<\/p>\n She helped guide Longwood to back-to-back 1-0 shutouts over High Point and Presbyterian with her smart decision-making and ability to lead her fellow defenders.<\/p>\n The Lancers (6-5-2, 3-1 Big South) return to the road to face off against preseason Big South favorite USC Upstate on Saturday, Oct.11, in Spartanburg, S.C., with kickoff set for 1 p.m. The match will air on ESPN+.
