SCORING SUMMARY 
HOW IT HAPPENED
  • Radford remained atop the Big South men's soccer standings following Saturday's 2-0 victory over Campbell at Eakes Athletic Complex in Buies Creek, N.C.
  • The Highlanders struck early when Daniel O'Keefe pounced on a loose ball in the box and fired it into goal in the 11th minute. It was his second goal of the season.
  • RU extended its advantage to 2-0 when Garland Smith earned his second goal of the season in the 60th minute. He collected a rebound off a Sivert Daehlie blast from 25 yards out and ripped his attempt off the left post and in for the insurance tally.

INSIDE THE BOX SCORE
  • The Highlanders applied constant pressure on the hosts, earning nine corners during the match.
  • O'Keefe's strike marked the sixth time Radford has scored off a corner this season.
  • The Highlanders, who are on a six-match winning streak, are off to their best start since the 1995 season when they opened with a 10-1-1 record.
  • Radford outshot its opponent for the 10th time this season, gaining a 14-8 advantage over the Camels.
  • Aitor Pouseu Blanco secured his fourth shutout (11th career) of the season by making two saves.
  • RU blanked Campbell for the second straight meeting. The Camels have not scored against Radford in 211 minutes.
  • With the win, the Highlanders even the all-time series with Campbell (12-12-1).
 
QUOTABLE
  • "The conditions were tough today. We are thankful for Campbell's facilities staff and their hard work to ensure the game could be played. I believe our players did a good job of understanding what was needed to be successful on this surface. I thought we battled hard in all areas of the field. In particular, I thought we dominated the midfield…in the air and on the ground. We turn around quickly for another very difficult away game, and it is vital we do everything perfect from now through kickoff to have a chance at being successful against a strong Winthrop team." ~ Radford head coach, Marc Reeves
