CLINTON, S.C. – The Presbyterian College lacrosse team will have a dose of pre-Easter action on Saturday afternoon, hosting Radford for a 1:00 start in Big South game number three.

Both parties will be searching for their first league victory after PC ventured to four-time defending conference champion Mercer earlier this week and endured a near-three-hour lightning delay.

Head coach Eric Clakeley has beaten the Highlanders twice in his last three attempts, including a wacky 13-12 win in Virginia last spring where the Scotsmen scored a dozen times in the opening half.

Just three more home games are left on PC's schedule, as they hope to take the first step back up the Big South ladder and into postseason contention.

SCOUTING THE HIGHLANDERS

 
- Outside of a 15-11 result against Butler on their home turf, it's been tough sledding for Radford who has taken league losses to Furman by eight points and Winthrop by five.

- In that game with the Eagles just 48 hours ago, head coach Samantha Jones' unit held a 10-8 advantage late in the 3^rd period but witnessed a match-ending 7-0 flurry that pushed their losing streak to four games.

- When Radford last went up against Presbyterian, the Blue Hose were able to survive despite scoring just once in the final 30 minutes of play. Keeper Kayleigh Aitken was inserted into the game at halftime and allowed just three makes on eight saves, while Kaylie Rittmueller gathered a career-best seven draw controls.

- The Highlanders have been outscored by a total of 68 points this year. Senior Mady Cheney is the team's leading goal-getter (20), but Maddy Driscoll possesses the most individual points thanks to 18 assists (third-most in the conference).


 
LAST TIME OUT

 
- Once the Georgia storm made its way out of range, the Blue Hose were finally able to begin at Mercer on Wednesday and would ultimately take a 19-2 setback.

- PC drew first blood courtesy of the team's point-leader Kate Dominick, but the Bears calculated a 19-0 run after being held off the board for the first 11 minutes.

- Senior Alyssa Perez has registered at least one goal in all 11 games this semester, able to keep the streak alive with a 4^th-quarter hit. She and sophomore Emily Currie are both above 20 connections with six regular-season matchups still to come.

- During the Big South opener against Furman at Bailey Memorial, Aitken collected her 200^th career save and defenseman Avery West penned her 100^th caused turnover.

- No team in the division has a better shot-percentage than PC, converting 51 percent of their attempts overall. West is one of just three players in the conference to average two takeaways per game (20 total).
