Big South ConferenceD1winter

PROGRAM OVERVIEW

Radford's women's basketball program operates from The Dedmon Center in southwestern Virginia with a 17-10 overall record this season, including an impressive 9-3 conference mark in Big South play. With 7,812 students across campus, the Highlanders maintain a 14-player roster under head coach Mike McGuire, who oversees a program founded in 1910. The team averages 65.2 points per game while holding opponents to 60.0, demonstrating defensive consistency that has translated to a dominant 12-3 home record at The Dedmon Center.

Radford's split performance reveals a clear home-court advantage, as their 5-7 away record contrasts sharply with their undefeated home conference record. The Highlanders' 9-3 Big South standing positions them as conference contenders, with McGuire's squad relying on balanced offensive contributions and disciplined defensive execution that limits opponents below 60 points per game. Their 65.2 scoring average reflects an offense designed to win games through control rather than volume scoring, a philosophy that has proven effective in their competitive conference landscape.
