SERIES HISTORY
As founding members of the conference, Radford and Charleston Southern have a deep history with each other. The Highlanders own the series at 61-19 and have won the last 12 straight meetings. In Charleston the Buccaneers have fared much better with 13 of their 19 wins in the series. Last season in Charleston, Radford held on for a 60-46 win behind a 13 point and 13 rebound double-double from Ashlyn Traylor-Walker.
 
SCOUTING THE BUCCANEERS
The Buccaneers are off to their best Big South start under the tenure of third-year head coach Clarisse White with a 3-4 record against conference foes. Two of those three victories have come away from Buccaneer Fieldhouse at Presbyterian and Winthrop with the lone home win coming against Gardner-Webb. Wednesday's contest will mark the last Big South team Radford hasn't faced so far before the schedule loops around with rematches against all eight conference squads.

Charleston Southern has also earned all three of its conference victories on Wednesday games with all four losses coming on Saturday games. Catherine Alben (14.9 ppg) and Kennedi Jackson (13.9 ppg) lead the offensive charge for the Buccaneers while Madison Adamson (8.6 rpg) is one of the top rebounders in the league.
 
HANNER'S WEEKLY HONOR
Hanner is now on a streak of four straight games in double figures scoring and added back-to-back double-doubles last week. Her 22-point performance against UNC Asheville was a career-high paired with single-game career highs in blocks (3) and three's (2). Against Presbyterian she dropped a 16-point 10-rebound double-double to help guide Radford to the perfect week at home. The graduate combined to shoot 15-27 (56%) overall on the week to lead the team to its best start in conference play since the 2018-19 season.
 
CONFERENCE LEADERS
Pa'Shence Traylor-Walker has caught fire as of late for the Highlanders as the sophomore moves into a tie for the team-lead in three-pointers. Over Radford's last two Saturday games, Pa'Shence hit five shots from deep in a game at USC Upstate and five more at home against Presbyterian. Overall over her last three games she has totaled 42 points for the Highlanders, second-most on the team over that stretch.
