A dominant first-half onslaught sets the tone as the Monarchs prepare for a D.C. showdown on ESPN+

A Dominant Display

Old Dominion University’s women’s soccer squad delivered a commanding 3‑0 victory over Longwood, posting a clean sheet that underscored their tactical superiority.

The breakthrough came in the 18th minute when Ashlynn Kulha slipped a well‑timed finish past the Longwood keeper, the strike set up by Ally Richardson’s precise pass.

Just six minutes later, Sydney Somers doubled the lead with a crisp strike into the top corner, leaving the Lancers scrambling for a response.

The third goal arrived after the break, when Hannah Morgan pounced on a Riley Mullen rebound to seal the result and cap a dominant performance.

Between the scores, goalkeeper Ellie Goodrich was a wall of resistance, producing a string of saves in both halves that kept Longwood at bay.

Coach’s Call for Intensity

Longwood head coach Todd Dyer did not mince words after the final whistle, stressing that his side must raise the intensity if they hope to compete in upcoming fixtures.

A Test in the Capital

The Lancers will return to action next Sunday in Washington, D.C., with the match streamed live on ESPN+, a venue that promises a fresh test of their resolve.
