GAME INFORMATION
  • Score: Radford 92, Concord 36
  • Records: Radford (4-4) | Concord (3-4)
  • Location: Dedmon Center | Radford, Va.
 
HOW IT HAPPENED
  • All eight Radford players who played scored, including four in double figures, to pace the Highlanders to their highest offensive output of the season in a 92-36 non-conference women's basketball win over Concord Saturday afternoon in the Dedmon Center.
  • RU held the Mountain Lions to 1 of 14 shooting in a decisive second quarter where the Highlanders outscored their opponent, 22-3. A Concord 3-pointer with five seconds remaining before halftime was the only tally by the visitors in the second quarter.
  • The Highlanders raced out to a 9-0 lead to start the game, highlighted by five straight points from Jen Falconer.
  • Radford continued its momentum into the second half, outscoring the Mountain Lions, 49-20.
INSIDE THE BOX SCORE
  • The win marks the 12th consecutive win for the Highlanders in the friendly confines of the Dedmon Center.
  • A scoring margin of 56 points is the highest on the year for Radford. The previous high was 45 in a 84-39 win over Lees-McRae on Nov. 28.  
  • Jayda Worthy led four Highlanders in double-figures with an 18-point effort. Worthy finished 6 for 9 from the floor, including a perfect 6 for 6 from the charity stripe.
  • Jen Falconer (15 points), Aisha Foy (14 points) and Rachael Ross (14 points) rounded out the Radford offense.
  • Janayla White, Worthy and Foy have reached double-figure scoring in six contests on the season.
  • Falconer's 15 points matched her season high, while setting a season high in assists with eight.
  • Lydia Rivers narrowly missed her first career double-double, finishing with seven points and a season-high 16 rebounds.
  • Rivers' 16 rebounds are the most by a Highlander this season.
  • Radford went 33 for 61 from the field for 54.1 percent, its second time shooting over 50 percent from the floor this season.
  • The Highlanders controlled the paint and boards. Radford scored 54 points in the paint and outrebounded Concord, 56-21.
  • RU collected a season-high 15 steals with Gaby Gilmore and White leading the way with three each.
  • Lindsey Overbey led Concord with eight points off the bench.
  • Concord's leading scorer, Danielle Catron, was held to a season-low three points.  
  • The Mountain Lions finished 15 for 61 from the floor, with six baskets from 3-point land.
 
QUOTABLE
  • "I thought it was a well-rounded effort by our team today. We got production from all eight players that could play. We were solid, defensively. We didn't make things easy for Concord. Offensively, we had really good balance—inside, outside, transition baskets. We rebounded well, which aided us in transition. It was a good, well-rounded win after a tough loss at Xavier [Wednesday night]." ~ Radford head coach, Mike McGuire
 
UP NEXT
  • Radford will take some much need time off for exams, returning to the hardwood on Dec. 18, against non-conference foe Wofford.
  • Tipoff is scheduled for 12 p.m. inside Benjamin Johnson Arena in Spartanburg, N.C.
