Series History
Tuesday's meeting between Radford and USC Upstate marks the 10th all-time meeting between the two programs in the Spartans' Division I era (2007-pres.). The Spartans enter looking to snap a seven-game winning streak by the Highlanders as Radford leads the series 8-1. Last season, the Highlanders took both ends of a doubleheader with both games being decided by less than 10 points.

Players to Watch
Upstate: Shooting 57.9 percent from the field and 71.4 percent from three, including a career-high five made threes, redshirt sophomore guard Chellia Watson secured her second 30-point game of the season Saturday in a 19-point victory over Campbell behind a career-high 32 points. With her second career 30-point game, she became the first Spartan since Tee'Ara Copney in 2011-12 with multiple 30-point games in the same season.
 
Radford: Coming off the bench in last Saturday's game against Longwood, forward Rachel LaLonde scored a team-high 12 points and pulled in a team-best nine rebounds for the Highlanders. Following her near double-double, she enters Tuesday's game averaging a team-high 5.8 rebounds per game while ranking third on the team in scoring at 7.0 points per game.
