SCORING SUMMARY 
HOW IT HAPPENED
  • Sivert Daehlie capitalized on a loose ball in front of goal in the 92nd 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 12th minute. It was his first goal of the season.
  • Jamie Summers leveled the score in the 34th 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 77th 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 81st 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.

INSIDE THE BOX SCORE
  • Radford and High Point went into overtime for the third time in the last four meetings.
  • The previous two overtime games ended in scoreless draws.
  • Five of Summers' six goals this season have come from the penalty spot.
  • The Highlanders remain perfect on penalty-kick conversions (7-7).
  • Radford outshot its opponent for the 12th time this season, gaining a 26-11 advantage over the Panthers.
  • RU earned eight corners in the match, compared to just two by High Point.
  • The Highlanders have won seven of their last eight outings to reach 10 wins for the second straight season.
 
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
 
UP NEXT
  • Radford visits Lynchburg, Va., for Tuesday's Big South battle against Liberty at 6 p.m.
