SERIES HISTORY VERSUS NORTH CAROLINA A&T

SERIES HISTORY VERSUS LONGWOOD
Winthrop and Longwood meet for the 27

A GLANCE AT WINTHROP
Winthrop began the 2021-22 season with four straight road contests, including two against Power Five opponents (Duke and Kentucky). The team returned home for five straight games leading into a road game against Coppin State and a neutral-site contest against Charlotte.
The Eagles began conference play with a home matchup against Charleston Southern before going on a long pause due to COVID-19 issues within the program. After home contests against Gardner-Webb and Campbell, the team travels to North Carolina A&T, Longwood, and Hampton within a five-day span, still looking for their first Big South victory of the season.
Winthrop is coming off a 6-18 (5-15 Big South) season in 2020-21 with Randall Lay in the interim head coach role. Season highlights included a road non-conference victory against South Carolina State and a home sweep of conference rival Charleston Southern.
Randall Lay is in her first season at the permanent helm of the program after serving as associate head coach and then interim head coach. Entering her 10
