High Point currently owns the series edge 33-22 and has won the last six straight contests. Before that, though, Radford had won four straight games including a double overtime victory on the road in 2019. While High Point took both meetings last season, Radford played close in both games. <dfn><a href=\"https:\/\/radfordathletics.com\/sports\/womens-basketball\/roster\/carmen-williams\/7429\" rel=\"smarttag noopener\" rev=\"7429\" target=\"_blank\">Carmen Williams<\/a><\/dfn> combined for 16 points while <dfn><a href=\"https:\/\/radfordathletics.com\/sports\/womens-basketball\/roster\/rachel-lalonde\/7428\" rel=\"smarttag noopener\" rev=\"7428\" target=\"_blank\">Rachel LaLonde<\/a><\/dfn> also scored 14 against the Panthers last season.<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\n<strong>SCOUTING THE PANTHERS<\/strong><br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nHigh Point enters Saturday&#8217;s match on a three-game winning streak. It&#8217;s no secret to success for the Panthers as the team has shot lights out especially from three-point range. After just shooting 4-18 against Charleston Southern, the Panthers have kicked it into high gear sinking 33 three-pointers over their last two games against Presbyterian and Winthrop both on the road.<\/p>\n<p>Skyler Curran leads the offensive efforts with 15.5 ppg and is shooting 36% from three this season. Nakyah Terrell averages 10.0 ppg while Jenson Edwards leads the team in assists with 63 while also averaging 9.8 ppg herself.<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\n<strong>LAST SECOND THRILLER<\/strong><br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nRadford had an electric ending to their game last Wednesday against Campbell, overcoming an 11-point deficit to defeat Campbell. <dfn><a href=\"https:\/\/radfordathletics.com\/sports\/womens-basketball\/roster\/carmen-williams\/7429\" rel=\"smarttag noopener\" rev=\"7429\" target=\"_blank\">Carmen Williams<\/a><\/dfn> had the heroic shot for the Highlanders, as her made floater with five seconds to go sealed the 54-53 victory. It was a big-time win for the Highlanders, who now own a conference record over .500 and have won three straight contests.<\/p>\n<p><strong>BLAKE DOMINATING THE BOARDS<\/strong><br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nSomething to keep an eye on will be <dfn><a href=\"https:\/\/radfordathletics.com\/sports\/womens-basketball\/roster\/vanessa-blake\/7425\" rel=\"smarttag noopener\" rev=\"7425\" target=\"_blank\">Vanessa Blake&#8217;s<\/a><\/dfn> ability to create second chance opportu[1]nities. The sophomore leads the team with 48 offensive rebounds this season and collected six against a tough Campbell squad Wednesday. Radford currently averages six more rebounds a game than High Point. Blake&#8217;s ability down low will be pivotal in keeping up with the Panthers electric offense.<\/p>\n<p><strong>MEETING OF HOT SHOOTING OFFENSES<\/strong><br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nSaturday&#8217;s game will see a meeting between two of the conference&#8217;s most accurate shooting offenses. High Point (44% overall, 36% from three) and Radford (42% overall, 33% from three) both rank within the top-three for overall shooting and top-three for three-point shooting. The Panthers lean on the three much more, as the Highlanders have attempted 108 less shots from deep.<\/p>\n<p><strong>FOLLOW RADFORD WOMEN&#8217;S BASKETBALL<\/strong><br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nTo follow the Radford women&#8217;s basketball team throughout the season, visit RadfordAthletics.com, follow @Radford_WBB\u00a0on Twitter, &#8216;radford_wbb&#8217; Instagram or Radford Women&#8217;s Basketball on Facebook.<\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/p><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/radfordathletics.com\/news\/2023\/1\/20\/womens-basketball-womens-basketball-faces-road-test-at-high-point-saturday.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#13; Story Links &#13; &#13; RADFORD, Va. \u2013\u00a0The Radford women&#8217;s basketball program looks to extend their winning streak on the road this weekend as they&#8217;re set to face the hot-shooting High Point at 2 p.m. this Saturday.
