These teams enter this afternoon's contest tied for third with 5-4 Big South records and are a half game ahead of Coastal Carolina and UNC Asheville.

Returning home after two games on the road, the Highlanders are looking to get back on the winning track after dropping both games at Liberty and Gardner-Webb.

In the first matchup of the season, junior Davida Dodson sparked a late 10-3 run helping Radford come back and defeat Winthrop, 54-50, on Jan. 12 for its first road win of the season. Alston recorded a double-double (13 pts, 12 rbs) and Moton led all scorers with 14 points. Ashley Fann paced the Eagles with 13 points. It also marked Radford's 50th win (50-6) against Winthrop
