BALANCED ATTACK POWERS RADFORD PAST DAVIDSON, 79-68



GAME INFORMATION
  • Score: Radford 79, Davidson 68
  • Records: Radford (3-2) | Davidson (4-3)
  • Location: Dedmon Center | Radford, Va.
 
HOW IT HAPPENED
  • Radford received double-figure scoring contributions from five different players to propel the Highlanders to a 79-68 non-conference women's basketball win over Davidson Wednesday inside the Dedmon Center.
  • The game was part of the Highlanders' first-ever Education Day, where over 1,000 local elementary students attended to make for an incredible environment for the mid-day matinee.
  • After falling behind by eight (19-11) with 2:04 remaining in the opening quarter, Radford responded with a 15-0 run that was capped by back-to-back 3-pointers from Jen Falconer and Aisha Foy.
  • That momentum carried the Highlanders into break on top, 37-35.
  • Radford could not put away the Wildcats until late in the fourth quarter behind a 10-0 run spanning 4:40.
  • The Highlanders held Davidson without a field goal for nearly six minutes during their late-game surge.
     
INSIDE THE BOX SCORE
  • Five Highlanders reached double figures, offensively, for the first time since Jan. 24, 2013, which was an overtime game at Campbell.
  • Jen Falconer dropped in a season-high 15 points behind a 4 for 4 performance from 3-point range.
  • Jayda Worthy recorded her third straight double-double (11 points, 13 rebounds). It was the seventh time in her career she pulled down double-digit rebounds.
  • Gaby Gilmore (14), Rachael Ross (14) and Janayla White (13) also reached double-figure scoring.
  • Radford connected on a season-high 51.8 percent of its shots, including an electrifying 7 of 11 mark from downtown.
  • The Highlanders outrebounded Davidson, 41-35. The Wildcats entered the game averaging 43.8 boards per contest.
  • Twenty-one of the Highlanders' 29 made field goals were assisted. RU topped the 20-assist mark in back-to-back games for the first time under head coach Mike McGuire. Worthy, Falconer and Foy dished out five dimes apiece.
  • Radford converted 14 of its 21 free-throw opportunities, including a 5 for 5 clip from White.
  • The Highlanders improved their home winning streak to 11 straight games.
  • Mackenzie Latt dialed up a game-high 23 points on 7 of 12 shooting to pace Davidson's offense.
  • Hannah Early chipped in 18 points for the visitors, including a 3 for 12 effort from deep.
 
QUOTABLE
  • "Today was a great team win. We had a really good opponent in Davidson that we knew would give us a lot of pressure. They are really hard to guard. I thought we just had a total team effort today. If you look at the stats, we had a lot of production from a lot of players—five players in double figures is outstanding. I thought our bench played really well today. I am really proud of our team and happy for us to pick up a win over a quality opponent like Davidson." ~ Radford head coach, Mike McGuire
 
UP NEXT
  • Radford opens its 30th season of Big South competition Saturday at 2 p.m. when the Highlanders visit High Point.
  • The Panthers (2-6, 1-0 Big South) lead the head-to-head series, 24-16.
