QUOTABLE
"We lost an extremely physical battle today with Kennesaw State. Our team has to get back to playing our brand of lacrosse; we can't continue to lose the loose ball battles and win the game. These women fight hard every game and I'm proud of that, but we must fix the mistakes. Jenny Davis was phenomenal again today as was Juliette Ruland." ~ Radford head coach, Haley Marvine.
