SERIES HISTORY
The Highlanders and Panthers will meet for the 57th time in program history Wednesday with the Panthers owning a 34-22 edge in the series history. High Point has won the last seven meetings with the last two coming each by eight points. Radford has fared much better at home in the series history, defeating High Point 14 times inside Dedmon.

Radford and High Point face off for the second time this season with the last meeting coming back on January 23rd. Traylor tied her season-high in points in the game with 21 while Blake and Williams also finished in double figures. The Highlanders struggled to get the offense going outside of that trio, however, as High Point took the 70-62 win slipping away late at the free throw line.
 
SCOUTING THE PANTHERS
High Point enters Wednesday night's game as one of the hottest teams in the Big South. Currently holding a grip on the second seed in the conference standings, the team has won five straight over Charleston Southern, Campbell, Longwood, Presbyterian and USC Upstate. The Panthers are one of the best shooting teams in the conference shooting 44% overall this season, but opponents are shooting over 40% against them as well.
 
SENIORS SHINE
Two of Radford's seniors shined on Senior Day last week as Rachel LaLonde and Jackie Christ both had big performances. LaLonde posted a career-high 8 assists as she came close to a triple-double with six points and 14 rebounds as well. Christ would hit double figures scoring for the fourth time this season with her 10 points and four rebounds.
 
TRAYLOR EARNS ANOTHER AWARD
Freshman Ashlyn Traylor earned her sixth Big South Freshman of the Week award this past Monday. Her six weekly awards are now a Radford record for a freshman, beating the previous high of five she set herself. Traylor was excellent guiding the offense leading the team in points for the 18th and 19th time this season. Traylor is sneaking up on 100 assists as she currently has 86.
