SERIES HISTORY
Radford and High Point have a deep history dating back to 1980 and featuring many top-of-the-Big-South battles. The series has leaned more towards the Panthers' way as of late, though, as the Panthers have won the last five meetings. Wednesday's meeting will be the second time this week that the two squads face off, this time on the Highlanders' home court.

SCOUTING THE PANTHERS
High Point enters Wednesday's meeting on a four-game winning streak with victories over Presbyterian, North Carolina A&T, Winthrop and most recently Radford this past Monday. While the team will be without their top scorer and Big South preseason player of the year Skyler Curran, Jaden Wrightsell and Jenson Edwards have stepped up to lead the offense with both averaging double figures. High Point is also the best team in the conference in limiting the turnovers, winning the turnover battle by an average five turnovers per game.

TUDOR SCORING OFTEN
Ashley Tudor has found her groove in the last two games after missing the two games before that. The sophomore recorded double digit point totals against North Carolina A&T and High Point in her last two games, most recently leading the team in points with 15 against High Point. Tudor has been doing it with acrobatic shooting and being a clutch free throw shooter in the final five minutes of games where she is 20 for 24 (83%) this season.

LALONDE SETS A NEW REBOUNDING HIGH
Rachel LaLonde continues to rack up the rebounds this season after posting a season-high 13 against High Point earlier this week. The junior's season total in rebounds now sits at 119, a total that is a career high for a single season. Tudor is the team's next highest rebounder, with her season total currently sitting at 76.

ICYMI BIG SOUTH SCHEDULE CHANGES
Radford has had two games against Winthrop and Hampton postponed. Radford's previously scheduled home match with Winthrop is now on February 17th at 6 p.m. The previously scheduled game at home against Hampton is still postponed without a make-up date determined.
