GAME INFORMATION
  • Score: Wofford 79, Radford 70
  • Records: Wofford (4-7) | Radford (4-5)
  • Location: Benjamin Johnson Arena | Spartanburg, S.C.
 
HOW IT HAPPENED
  • Senior Guard Aisha Foy poured in a career-high 26 points, but Radford could not overcome a 12 for 21 performance by Wofford from 3-point land as the Highlanders dropped its fifth road contest on the season, 79-70, at Wofford Friday afternoon.
  • Trailing 64-52 with 6:05 remaining in the fourth quarter, Jayda Worthy found Janayla White and Lydia Rivers for back-to-back baskets, while Foy added a layup for a Highlander 6-0 run.
  • Coming out of the locker room, Wofford opened the third quarter on an 8-4 run as a season-high 20 Radford turnovers fueled the Terriers' offense.
  • After a slow first quarter, a 3-pointer from Jordan Toohey gave RU a 23-22 lead with 6:16 remaining until halftime.

  • With the 26-point effort, Foy has now scored in double figures in seven of Radford's nine games this season.
  • Janayla White narrowly missed a double-double, finishing with 14 points and nine rebounds.
  • Joining Foy and White in double figures was Lydia Rivers, who finished with a season-high 11 points on 5 of 9 shooting.
  • Gaby Gilmore and White defended the paint, finishing with three blocks each. The three blocks are a career high for Gilmore.

  • Radford outscored Wofford, 40-24, in the paint, with 24 points coming on second chances.

  • Peyton Walker followed with 14 points off the bench, making 4 of 5 3-pointers.   
 
QUOTABLE
  • "I thought we did ok. The first half, Wofford did a good job finding their open shooters from the 3-point line. I just don't think we executed our game plan well enough to win on the road, which continues to be a problem. The details, energy and focus has to be better on the road in order to win a game like this. You have to credit Wofford for the better execution today." ~ Radford head coach, Mike McGuire
 
UP NEXT
  • Radford remains on the road, traveling to Virginia Tech on Monday for the women's edition of the New River Valley showdown.
