RADFORD, Va. – Sophomore Julie Ruh'e (Monrovia, Md./Urbana) found the back of the net in the 79th minute to give Radford women's soccer a 1-0, hard-fought victory over in-state foe Longwood Friday night.

On the 11th shot of the game, Ruh'e gathered a loose ball in the box and slid the ball into the left side, putting Radford up 1-0.  Her score was the fourth this season, fourth career game-winner, and for the second consecutive year, she became the first Highlander to reach the double-digit points mark.  

“It was a good road win for us tonight and I was happy with the way our team played,” said head coach Ben Sohrabi.  “We had a lot of heart tonight.”  

The win for Radford (5-2) was the first over Longwood (2-4-3) since the 2008 title year and was the first-ever triumph in Farmville.  

Che' Brown (Manassas Park, Va./Manassas Park) made her second consecutive start for the Highlanders and has posted back-to-back shutouts.  With the clean sheet, Brown moved into a tie with fellow keeper Lisa Lubke (Columbus, Ohio/St. Francis DeSales) for fifth all-time in career shutouts with 10.  

The Lancers exited the locker room at halftime on a mission to put pressure on the Radford defense.  Brown, however, stepped up to make four saves within a span of 5:21.  She made a season-high six stops on the night.

In every victory this season the Highlanders have out-shot the opposition and tonight held true as well, with Radford controlling the attack, 13-8.
