RADFORD, Va. – After opening the 2010 season with four straight contests on the road, first-year head coach Marc Reeves and his Radford Highlanders will entertain conference-rival Liberty in their home / league opener Saturday evening at Cupp Stadium.

Coming off a 1-1 draw to Georgia Southern on the final day of the Flash Gordon Motors Invitational Sunday afternoon in High Point, N.C., Radford enters its first of five home games this season 1-2-1 overall.

Four of Radford's five goals this season have come in the first 14 minutes of the contest.

Iyiola Awosika (London, England / Aylesbury Grammar) leads the Highlanders in scoring with a pair of strikes, while Bernardo Ulmo (Sao Paulo, Brazil / South Kent) and Mike Handlin (Opal, Va. / Liberty-Bealeton) have added a goal and assist each.

Liberty enters the 37th all-time meeting 3-1-1 following a 2-1 setback to Appalachian State Wednesday.

Phillip Asewah paces the Flames offensively with three goals and three assists (nine points) through five contests.
