SCORING SUMMARY

HOW IT HAPPENED

Sivert Daehlie capitalized on a loose ball in front of goal in the 92^nd minute to bury the game-winner that propelled Radford to a 2-1 overtime victory over High Point in Big South men's soccer action Saturday night at Cupp Stadium.
HPU struck first off a 30-yard rocket from Ebe Kudolo in the 12^th minute. It was his first goal of the season.
Jamie Summers leveled the score in the 34^th minute when he converted his fifth penalty kick of the year. Finn Tiedemann was fouled inside the 18-yard box, which set up Summers' equalizer.
Tiedemann nearly put the Highlanders on top in the 77^th minute when he ran down a Jakob Strandsäter through ball, but his strike clanked off the left post.
That miss translated into a counter attack for High Point, but Aitor Pouseu Blanco came up huge for RU, turning away back-to-back shots by the Panthers.
Summers almost found the back of the net for the second time in the match in the 81^st minute, but his header attempt caromed off the post.
Daehlie ended the match just 1:30 into the first overtime when he pounced on a loose ball inside the box and placed his shot around the HPU goalkeeper.

QUOTABLE

"I thought we played very well tonight against a talented and tough High Point team. The goal they scored was an unreal strike from distance, but I thought our players responded well. We used a lot of different players in the front half of our team and created a ton of great opportunities to score. I believe the final goal and the full three points are well-deserved. We appreciate the fans and many alumni who came out tonight. We have another short turnaround where everything we do will be important to performing well again." ~ Radford head coach, Marc Reeves
