ELON, N.C. (Interstat) — The Longwood Lancers, riding a wave of offensive momentum, will visit the Elon Phoenix in a nonconference women’s basketball matchup Sunday at Schar Center. Longwood (7-4) enters having won three of its last four, including a 90-62 rout of UNC Pembroke on Dec. 7.

Elon will counter with Ashanti Fox, who leads her team in assists and scored 13 points with six assists against East Carolina. For Longwood, secondary scoring from Jesstynie Scott (17 points vs. UNC Pembroke) and Otaifo Esenabhalu (15 points) will be crucial.
