QUOTABLE
"High Point is a very strong team who has played excellent this year on the national level, we have a lot of respect for them. Against great teams our failure to execute the fundamental consistently really hurts us. Jenny Davis had a strong showing back in goal and I am proud of her stepping up when we need her." ~ Radford head coach, Haley Marvine.
