QUOTABLE
"Unfortunately today we did not show up and play with the effort that we expect from ourselves. Our entire team and staff are disappointed in our showing against a great Virginia Tech team. Tomorrow starts preparation for Delaware State, so we can rebound and prove that today was out of character for our team." ~ Radford head coach Haley Marvine.

UP NEXT
Radford will have a week off after playing three games in seven days and return to Cupp Stadium to host Delaware State on Saturday at 11 a.m.
