“We played a lot better than we did on Tuesday,” said Asheville head coach Julie Torbett. “We are continuing to get better and that is all I can ask for. Radford is a much improved team and they played well tonight. We are still adjusting our lineup but I am encouraged by the way we played tonight.”
