GAME INFORMATION
  • Score: High Point 71, Radford 66
  • Records: Radford (3-3, 0-1 Big South) | High Point (3-6, 2-0 Big South)
  • Location: Millis Center | High Point, N.C.
 
HOW IT HAPPENED
  • Senior guard Aisha Foy dialed up a season-high 20 points, but Radford could not overcome an 8 for 18 performance from the free-throw line as the Highlanders dropped their Big South opener, 71-66, at High Point Saturday afternoon.
  • Tied at 53 with 6:14 remaining in the fourth quarter, High Point scored six straight points over the next three minutes to take a 59-53 lead.
  • RU held its largest lead of the contest in the third quarter at 43-36 on back-to-back baskets by Jen Falconer and Janayla White.
  • The Highlanders came out of the break fired up as an offensive rebound and putback by White gave RU the lead at 35-34.
  • Radford closed out the first half on consecutive 3-pointers by Gaby Gilmore and Foy to close its deficit to 34-31 at the break.
  • High Point came out on fire in the second quarter as the Highlanders struggled to get their offense going. Haleigh Hatfield gave the Panthers a 32-23 lead at the 2:44 mark, highlighting a 14-5 run.
 
INSIDE THE BOX SCORE
  • Foy led two Highlanders in double figures, offensively, behind a 5 of 6 performance from 3-point range. The five 3-pointers are a career high for Foy.
  • Janayla White picked up her fifth career double-double with a 12-point, 12-rebound effort. Of White's 12 rebounds, eight came on the offensive glass. White also tied a career high of four blocks.
  • Lydia Rivers narrowly missed the first double-double of her freshman campaign, finishing with season highs in points (nine) and rebounds (10).
  • Radford outrebounded High Point, 46-36, including an impressive 19 on the offensive glass.
  • The Highlanders went 8 for 18 from the charity stripe, for a season-low 44.4 percent.
  • On the other hand, HPU converted 16 of its 19 free-throw opportunities (84.2 percent).
  • Turnovers cost the Highlanders in the end as High Point forced a season-high 19 RU turnovers.
  • All three of High Point's wins on the season have come inside the friendly confines of the Mills Center.
  • High Point placed four scorers in double figures: Lindsey Edwards (14), Kaylah Keys (13), Haleigh Hatfield (12) and Kat Harris (11).
  • Radford did a commendable job on limiting Keys, the Big South's scoring leader. She was held to 2 of 10 from the floor, including 1 of 7 from downtown. Eight of her 13 points came at the charity stripe.
 
QUOTABLE
  • "High Point played hard for 40 minutes. They had us on our heels in the second quarter and some in the second half. That is what you have to do in a conference game. We have to learn to play with energy and emotion—we have got to get better at that. Give credit to High Point, they found open people, and some of their young kids hit big shots." ~ Radford head coach, Mike McGuire
 
UP NEXT
  • Radford remains on the road for Wednesday's non-conference clash with Xavier.
  • Tipoff is scheduled for 7 p.m. inside the Cintas Center.
