QUOTABLE
"Today our team executed the game plan and they matched that execution with hustle. We played aggressive on both sides of the ball, which allowed us to take control early. Jenny Davis was unstoppable as was our tough defense. Our offensive attack was incredibly balanced, with eight different scorers. Most of all I am so proud of our team, every single one of them. This was a very important game for us and they came out and played the best they have all season." ~ Radford head coach, Haley Marvine.
