The shifty guard showed off his range with a 3-for-5 performance from beyond the arc and added four rebounds, three assists and a steal.
Making his debut in a Radford uniform, Chandler Turner acquitted himself quite well, posting 21 points on 6-of-8 shooting to go with seven rebounds. Fellow debutant, Truth Harris, came off the bench to contribute nine points and a team-high nine boards.
The Highlanders' biggest positive from the contest was their seven blocks as a team, a figure that matches their season high during the 2022-23 season.
