Schedule Leaks: Longwood to Play Hampden-Sydney
Longwood has not played Hampden-Sydney in any capacity since November of 2005 when the Lancers took down the Tigers 87–71 in Willett Hall in an exhibition game. Social media, our message board, and other outlets have been littered with rumors of the “rivalry” kicking back up this year and we can confirm from multiple sources now that a game is indeed in the works.

Hampden-Sydney and Longwood will link up for an exhibition game in late October for the first time in nearly a decade. The game will be played in Willett Hall.
The contest is one of two exhibition games that the Lancers will likely play this year. The other game is expected to be against USA South member Averett. If you remember last year the Lancers were supposed to take on Averett in the preseason but rules pertaining to non-Division I contests forced the game to be cancelled.
