Game Notes

SETTING THE STAGE

Entering the game with a 45-9 record inside the Dedmon Center, Radford will honor Jayda Worthy, Janayla White, Claudia Quevedo and Jordan Toohey in a pregame ceremony as the quartet will play their final game inside the Dedmon Center.
Radford (21-7, 14-3) has now won 20 games for the second straight season, marking the first time the Highlanders have won 20-plus games in back-to-back seasons since 2006-07 and 2007-08.
Winning nine straight, Radford can set a program record in conference wins if the Highlanders defeat the Fighting Camels.
During the 2014-15 season, Radford won 14 Big South games, but played a 20-game schedule with Coastal Carolina still in the league.
The Highlanders sit one-game out of first place in the conference standings behind Liberty (15-2).
Radford can finish no lower than second place, but can clinch a share of the regular season title with a Liberty loss to High Point. The Highlanders would be the No. 1 seed in next week's tournament due to tiebreaker scenarios.
Campbell (15-13, 8-9) is 6-7 in road games with a 3-5 clip in conference games. The Fighting Camels are currently in a three-way tie for fifth place with tiebreaker scenarios having them ranging from three different seeds for the tournament.
