FARMVILLE, VA – The Charleston Southern women's basketball team fell to the Longwood Lancers for the second time this season, as they dropped a 63-56 affair on Saturday on the road.
 
Kennedi Jackson was one rebound away from a double-double, as she finished with 20 points and nine rebounds. Shimei Muhammad had nine rebounds as well, and Madison Adamson finished with 15 points and six rebounds.
 
Both teams traded baskets in the first quarter, as Keshunti Nichols finally gave the Bucs (7-15, 4-5 in conference) the 15-14 lead heading into the second quarter, where they extended the lead to seven points when Catherine Alben made it 21-14 with 7:47 to go in the first half. From there, the Lancers (6-16, 3-6 in conference) outscored the Bucs 21-12 to take a two-point lead into halftime.
 
The Lancers pushed the lead to 10 with a jump shot at the beginning of the fourth quarter and took a lead by 12 points with 3:40 left. The Bucs tried to fight back, getting a three pointer from Jordan Berry and a pair of free throws from Jackson to cut it to 56-51 with 1:54 left; however, Charleston Southern was unable to draw within four points, as the Lancers escaped with the victory.
 
As a team, the Bucs had a season-high with nine blocks including five from Muhammad and two from Adamson. Their nine blocks were the fourth most blocks in a game in school history and the most since 2014.
