RADFORD, Va. – Grace’s men’s basketball program will play its first NCAA Div. I opponent since 2009 on Friday.

The Lancers will travel to Radford University (Va.) for a countable contest at the Dedmon Center.

The Highlanders (4-6) are a member of the Big South Conference. Radford has already played at North Carolina and Wake Forest this season and will play at Wake Forest on Wednesday.

The game will be streamed live on the Big South Network online. Radford is a perfect 3-0 at the Dedmon Center so far in nonconference play.

The last Div. I game Grace played in was at Indiana University at Assembly Hall in 2009, a game which was an exhibition for both sides. Friday’s game will be a countable game for both Grace and Radford.
