CHARLESTON, S.C. - Victoria Hamilton finished with a double-double as Radford won the battle of the boards in holding off Charleston Southern inside the Buc Dome on Thursday evening, 64-57.

The Lady Bucs (6-13, 1-9 Big South) led 32-27 at the halftime break, but an 11-0 run in the second half sparked by Hamilton and Ayana Avery led Radford (12-7, 7-3 Big South).

Shay Jones finished the contest leading Charleston Southern with 14 points, and the senior guard added six assists, five rebounds and seven steals in 33 minutes' action in the loss.

"Shay is in her last year, her senior year and she's playing well, wanting to go all out on every play," said head coach Fred Applin following the contest on his senior guard's effort. "As a team though, we have to limit the turnovers and get more rebounds. We still have a lot to work on."

Lakeitha Alston added 11 points, playing all 40 minutes of the contest, while DJ Fowler finished in double-digits with 10 points as the Lady Bucs shot 42.6 percent (23-54) from the floor and 50.0 percent (6-12) from the three-point line in the game.

Freshman guard Zhaquondalee' Greer scored six points and added a team-high five rebounds for Charleston Southern off the bench as CSU took advantage of 23 Radford turnovers in scoring 28 points in the game. The Highlanders held the 17-8 edge in second chance opportunities.

"Zhaquondalee' played well for us today," said Applin on Greer's performance off the bench. "We told her she had to come out and give us something and we used her a lot in this game. She started the second half and she came out and competed on the floor. We're really happy about her performance."

Radford controlled the rebounding edge, out-rebounding the Lady Bucs 45-25 paced by Hamilton's 14 point, 10 rebound performance. Avery added a team high 15 points and five rebounds, while Da'Naria Erwin Spencer was also in double-digits with 11 points as Radford made 21 of 29 free throw attempts in the win.

"I think they (Radford) had 20 offensive rebounds and we can't give up that many," commented Applin on the Highlanders' edge on the glass. "Our girls played their hearts out, but there was a period of three minutes where we didn't score and that was the difference."

Jones opened the scoring in the game driving in for the layup and Fowler connected on her first three-pointer of the game to stake CSU to the early 5-0 lead before Erwin Spencer put the Highlanders on the board with a pair of free throws, putting the game at 5-2 with 16:49 remaining in the first half.
