Longwood has only played once, a 1-1 draw with Mount Olive on August 21. 2024 Big South All-Freshman forward Brando Bedolla scored for the Lancers in the 30th minute. Longwood was picked third in the Big South preseason poll and returns 16 players from last year's team that reached the Big South tournament semifinals.

Friday's matchup is the fourth game between ETSU and Longwood in men's soccer. The Buccaneers have won all three previous meetings, most recently with a 3-1 win in the 2024 season opener. The only other matchup in Farmville was August 27, 2021, when Tarik Pannholzer scored in the 84th minute to lift ETSU to a 1-0 win.
