RADFORD, Va. – Coming off its first Big South win of the season, the Radford women's basketball team is back on the road for Thursday's conference clash at High Point. Tipoff with the Panthers is set for 7 p.m. inside the Millis Center.

MEET THE PANTHERS
» High Point is 4-1 in its previous five outings, including an 81-77 triumph in Boiling Springs, N.C. over Gardner-Webb.
» In that game, freshman Kaylah Keys scored a season-high 32 points, which is the fourth-most points scored by a HPU player in the Division I era. She shot 50 percent from the floor and played all 40 minutes against the Runnin' Bulldogs.
» Keys leads the Panthers in scoring at 17 points per game, which rank second in the Big South behind Winthrop's Dequesha McClanahan's 17.4 average. Keys, who has 306 points on the season, is well on pace to break Charlena Martin's rookie single-season scoring record of 385. Keys also ranks third in free throw shooting, knocking down 81.1 percent of her attempts.
» Stacia Robertson, a redshirt junior forward, also averages double-figure scoring at 10.2 points per game. The South Dakota transfer leads High Point in rebounding with her 7.8 average.
» HPU ranks second in scoring (70.7) and tops the league in turnover margin (+2.33).
» In addition to Keys, High Point receives significant contributions from newcomers Teddy Vincent, DeAnneisha Jackson and Latrice Phelps. HPU's newcomers are responsible for over half of the team's scoring.
» The Panthers enter Thursday's game only one game out of first place in the conference standings.

HIGH POINT SERIES AT A GLANCE
» HPU leads the all-time series, 21-15. However, the last win for the Highlanders came on High Point's home floor last season, which was a 64-55 decision at the Millis Center.

UP NEXT
» The Highlanders return to the Dedmon Center for Saturday's Big South tilt against Campbell as part of a doubleheader with the men's basketball team. Action gets underway at 2 p.m. as the men take on Coastal Carolina. The women's game is set for 5 p.m.
