QUOTABLE
"I am very proud of our team for our win today. They hustled hard and it was the difference in the game. Our offense was sharing the ball really well, which made us hard to stop. Lindsey Carroll really showed what she could do today and I'm extremely proud of her. Emma Rogers was great across the board with interceptions and hard work in the midfield. We look forward to facing No. 20 Virginia Tech on Saturday." ~ Radford head coach, Haley Marvine
