Kaitlin Taylor was excellent for the Spiders in wing-attack, while teammate Georgina McLeod added defensive pressure in the midcourt.
With Culcairn bringing a whole new line-up to the court this season, Howlong coach Emma Pargeter admitted it was hard to know what to expect of the Lions.
"We didn't really know what they would be like at all going into the game," Pargeter said.
"Knowing Georgie (Haines, Culcairn coach) I knew that they'd probably be pretty good defensively and tough at the ball.
"Coming into the other half of the draw, I think it will be interesting to see all of those other clubs and get an idea of where everyone's at.
"It doesn't seem like there's going to be any easy wins for anyone."
After the Spiders' on-court duties were over, they had an off-court mission to raise money for Country Hope.

The Ladies' Day fundraiser saw a portion of ticket sales and all proceeds from the club's raffle going towards the trust, which supports families in the region with children who have been diagnosed with cancer and other life threatening illnesses.
Pargeter said the event was a success.
