The Longwood University women’s basketball team fell 85-56 to visiting Norfolk State University on Saturday afternoon, as the Spartans had four players to finish in double figures and the team scored 20-plus points in each of the final three periods.

Freshman guard/forward Dayna Rouse led the Lancer offense with a season-high 14 points off the bench, her second game in double figures this season. She was joined by sophomore forward Kemari Jones’ 10 points as the two finished as the lone double-figure scorers for the blue and white.

With the 0-2 home mark in the non-conference portion of the home schedule, Longwood (1-5) suffers more than one defeat on its home floor outside of Big South play for the first time since the 2014-15 season.
