STRONG THIRD QUARTER KEYS RADFORD TO 64-53 WIN AT PRESBYTERIAN



GAME INFORMATION
  • Score: Radford 64, Presbyterian 53
  • Records: Radford (6-7, 2-2 Big South) | Presbyterian (7-7, 3-2 Big South)
  • Location: Templeton Center | Clinton, S.C.
 
HOW IT HAPPENED
  • Senior point guard Aisha Foy dialed up 21 points to lift Radford to a 64-53 victory over Presbyterian in Big South women's basketball action Monday night at the Templeton Center in Clinton, S.C.
  • Led by Foy's third 20-point performance of the season, the Highlanders were able to notch their first road win since Feb. 14, 2015.
  • Radford outscored PC, 21-9, in the decisive third quarter to build a 10-point advantage (46-36) heading into the final quarter. Six of the Blue Hose's nine points were scored at the charity stripe during the third frame.
  • The Highlanders' lead never dipped below nine points in the final frame.
  • Destinee Walker drilled a 3-pointer from the right wing for her first collegiate points, which pushed RU in front, 19-17, after the first quarter.
  • PC regained the lead at halftime after a foul was called on Radford with 0.2 of a second left on the clock. Aianna Kelly stepped to the line and converted the pair of free throws to put the Blue Hose on top, 27-25, at intermission.
     
INSIDE THE BOX SCORE
  • In addition to Foy, Janayla White (12) and Gaby Gilmore (11) also reached double-figure scoring.
  • Radford, which handed PC just its second loss at home this season, was stellar defensively yet again. The Highlanders recorded a season-high-tying 10 blocks, while holding the Blue Hose to just 15 of 47 from the floor.
  • After only scoring six points in the second quarter, RU netted at least 18 points in the other three stanzas.
  • Presbyterian's 27-25 halftime lead was in large part due to a 13-0 advantage in points off turnovers.
  • The Highlanders outrebounded their 11th opponent of the season, claiming a 37-30 favor on the boards. That margin led to an 18-9 difference in second-chance points.
  • Radford shot 44.7 percent from the floor (21-47), which included a 41.7 percent clip (5-12) from long range. Foy made three of those.
  • On the other hand, PC was limited to 31.9 percent shooting (15-47), despite hitting 7 of 16 (43.8 percent) from downtown.
  • Reigning Big South Freshman of the Week Taylor Petty led the Blue Hose with 18 points—15 of those came in the second half.
  • The win marked Radford's third straight win over Presbyterian as the Highlanders lead the all-time series, 15-4.
 
QUOTABLE
  • "Anytime you can come to Presbyterian and win, it's huge. This is a big win for our program, and it is about time we got a road win. We needed that and hopefully it gives us a boost of confidence going forward. I am really proud of our effort tonight. I thought we played team ball on both ends. Our third quarter effort was huge. We outscored them, 21-9. We had a one-day prep for Presbyterian, and I thought our ladies did well. Their offense was a lot to show our team in a short amount of time. The execution of our game plan and trusting it was as solid as it has been all season." ~ Radford head coach, Mike McGuire
 
UP NEXT
