SERIES HISTORY
The Runnin' Bulldogs make a return visit to the Highlanders after Radford came out with an 80-71 victory at Boiling Springs earlier this season. The 80 points still stand as the most scored by Radford in a conference contest this season. Taniya Hanner and Ashlyn Traylor-Walker both dropped 16 points while freshmen Terissa Lavoile-Brice and Joi Williams also finished in double figures.

SCOUTING THE RUNNIN' BULLDOGS
The Runnin' Bulldogs enter Wednesday's meeting on a three-game losing skid but have played three of the top-four teams in the conference standings and will mark four of four when playing Radford. The road hasn't been kind to Gardner-Webb this season as they've posted a 1-13 record away from Paul Porter Arena. Two of the team's three conference wins also came at home.

Ashley Hawkins will be the name to watch as the transfer has made a stunning impact in her debut season with Gardner-Webb. Hawkins has 140 assists this season which leads the conference by a wide margin. Her 14.7 ppg is also team-high and a top-five total in the Big South.

TIED PROGRAM RECORD
With Terissa Lavoile-Brice earning her fourth freshman of the week, among the team the Highlanders have now been named to 11 weekly awards this season in total. The 11 weekly awards tie the program record for most in a single season since the 1991-92 squad also earned 11. This season Lavoile-Brice has been joined by Ashlyn Traylor-Walker, Taniya Hanner, Olivia Wagner and Joi Williams in a group of five Highlanders to earn a weekly award.

BENEFITTING OFF TURNOVERS
Throughout conference play this season, Radford has been the best team when it comes to limiting turnovers. Restricted to conference games only, Radford has an average turnover margin of +3.58 as opponents have turned it over a total of 50 more times. Radford's average of 14.9 turnovers per game is also a conference high, while their 18.5 turnovers forced are second-most.
