RADFORD, Va. – The second Big South Conference meeting of the year is due up for the Presbyterian College lacrosse team tomorrow, visiting Radford at noon Saturday. PC squares off with the Highlanders on ESPN+, with both sides searching for their first league win in their second attempt.

Presby was downed by High Point at Bailey Memorial Stadium 48 hours ago, ending with a 20-7 decision in the division opener. Meanwhile, Radford was similarly defeated by Winthrop in Rock Hill, succumbing to a game-ending 4-0 run and an 18-12 loss.

Head coach Eric Clakeley's program pounded Radford when they last visited Virginia in 2023, winning by a 14-5 clip which was their largest margin of victory in a Big South contest in six seasons.

SCOUTING THE OPPONENT
 
- Directed by fourth-year head coach Samantha Hurley, the Highlanders enter Saturday's setting with a five-match losing streak after the Winthrop deficiency. Radford has been outgunned 92-40 during that stretch.

- Both of the Highlanders' wins in '25 have come by a landslide (18-3 over Delaware State and 19-9 against Howard), winners of six matches last spring including a 10-point triumph opposite PC.

- Near the bottom of the Big South in goals scored to this point (92), Radford is spotlighted by sophomore keeper Ava LaManna who tops all players in the conference with a .447 save percentage.


 
LAST TIME OUT
 
- The Blue Hose were forced to play catch-up for nearly the entire evening against last year's league tournament runners-up, falling behind to High Point 14-4 at intermission and conceding 42 shots to the speedy Panthers.

- Presbyterian will be looking for their first road win of the semester in just their second road appearance of the past month, ranking second in the Big South by cashing in on 40 percent of their shot attempts.

- Junior goalie Kayleigh Aitken has acquired 26 ground balls on the season – good enough for 4^th in the league – while rookie Emily Currie has tallied that same number of scores (8^th place in the nation among freshmen).

- Ten of Clakeley's players have put in at least one strike since February, logging 32 goals in free-position opportunities and winning 118 draws (12 per game).
