The Highlanders reached new heights under third-year head coach Samantha Jones, tying the program record for single-season wins with key victories over Delaware State, Howard, FDU, Winthrop, Gardner-Webb, and Presbyterian.
We are passionate about providing our student-athletes the best experience possible.
We have big goals to reach - your gift helps make this possible.
With your help, we can:
- Implement player development technology
- Purchase a portable press box
- Compete in more off-season tournaments
The Kinexon GPS sports analytics software will help us boost our players' performances by allowing us to automate player tracking with live data analytics. A portable press box will provide an elevated view and protection from weather elements for our game operations personnel, as well as more substantial storage. It can also be branded to reinforce Radford Athletics' on-site brand, allowing it to complement the stadium and display our Highlander pride more adequately. Expanded tournament opportunities help our players adapt to a wider variety of playing environments, raise the team's competitive profile, and be a powerful recruiting tool to help us bring the most talented and exemplary student-athletes to our program.
