LEXINGTON, Va. – Hoping for its third straight win overall and second in a row against Division I competition, the VMI basketball team earned a hard-fought 77-74 victory over in-state foe Radford University Saturday afternoon at Cameron Hall.

The game was tabbed as a Lace Up 4 Pediatric Cancer game sponsored by the Go4TheGoal Foundation as the coaching staffs from both teams donned gold laces and sneakers to promote the cause.

VMI trailed by as many as 13 points late in the first half but fought back the rest of the way, earning at tie at 67-67 with 3:45 to play and its first lead at 71-69 at the 2:01 mark. The Keydets got up by six in the final seconds as the Highlanders could not manage to keep pace down the stretch.

The Keydets (5-6) snapped Radford's two-game win streak in the series and the Highlanders' overall three-game win streak as Radford falls to 6-4 on the season and 1-4 on the road. VMI defeated Navy last weekend as Saturday's win marked a second straight victory against a Division 1 opponent.
