SENIOR DAY, PLAY4KAY AND ALUMNI WEEKEND
The Highlanders are hosting multiple events as a part of Saturday's doubleheader with the men's basketball team. Prior to the game, Radford will celebrate Senior Day honoring their two student managers Turner Martin and Dylan Gotimer as well as Reniya Jones, Taylor Napper, Kirby Brown, Adriana Shipp-Davis and Makayla Firebaugh. The game is also Radford's annual Play4Kay pink game with fans encouraged to wear pink to the game. At halftime, Radford will also honor program alumni as a part of winter alumni weekend.
SERIES HISTORY
The Highlanders and Blue Hose meet for the second time this season as Presbyterian makes the return trip to Radford, with the Highlanders earning the 62-50 victory in Clinton, S.C. earlier this season. Overall, in the series, Radford has a 28-11 edge in the series history, with Radford taking the last four of the last six games. During the McGuire era, Radford owns a 17-9 record against the Blue Hose.
SCOUTING THE BLUE HOSE
After winning two of their first four Big South match-ups, the Blue Hose have struggled as of late losing eight of their last nine games. Thanks to a stout defense, Presbyterian has been a close in a lot of those meetings under first year head coach Tiffany Sardin. Presbyterian is holding opponents to 65.5 points per game, but are only averaging 52.9 ppg on the offensive end. Kishyah Anderson, one of the most efficient shooters in the conference, leads the Blue Hose with 13.7 ppg.
NEW PROGRAM RECORD
After the dust settled on the Highlanders win at UNC Asheville earlier this week, it was official that the 2024-25 squad had set a new program record for most three pointers in a season. As the best three-point shooting team in the conference so far, Radford has hit 186 threes overtaking the original record of 185 set during the 2021-22 season, doing so in four less games. It also marks the fourth straight season where Radford has hit 175 or more three pointers in a season.
CAREER ASSISTS
Playing to theme of the Highlanders high assists totals over their current successful stretch of Big South play, Joi Williams set a new career single-game high at UNC Asheville earlier this week. The sophomore assisted seven made shots for the Highlanders, besting her previous high of five. Williams contributed to 35% of the Highlanders total points against the Bulldogs.
