HIGHLANDER HIGHLIGHTS

2014-15 Record: 17-14, 14-6 Big South
Radford advanced to its third WNIT in program history last season after tying for second place in the Big South regular-season standings.
The Highlanders' 14 conference wins were a single-season program record.
Mike McGuire was named the 2014-15 Big South Coach of the Year, becoming the sixth RU head coach in program history to earn the accolade.
Radford's 10-win improvement from the 2013-14 season to the 2014-15 season tied for the sixth-best turnaround in the nation.
Eight Highlanders return from last season, including three starters.
Senior point guard Aisha Foy, a preseason All-Big South selection, will look to lead a team featuring 10 underclassmen.
Big South all-freshman team honorees Janayla White and Jayda Worthy are among those underclassmen.

SCOUTING EMORY & HENRY

2014-15 Record: 15-13, 8-8 ODAC
The Wasps ended last season on a tear, winning seven of nine games to reach the semifinals of the 2015 ODAC Women's Basketball Tournament.
They were predicted to finish fifth in the ODAC coaches' poll, which was announced Thursday.
It was Emory & Henry's highest preseason ranking in the conference poll in 10 years.
E&H returns four starters from last season, including All-ODAC honorees Karina Farr, Megan Jacoby and Chloe Harris.
Harris was the ODAC Rookie of the Year last season after leading all league freshmen in scoring at 10.6 points per game.
