HOW IT HAPPENED

Freshmen Sivert Daehlie and Finn Tiedemann provided the offensive punch Radford needed for the Highlanders to escape Lynchburg, Va., with a 3-0 Big South men's soccer triumph over Liberty at Osborne Stadium, Tuesday night.
Daehlie opened the scoring in the sixth minute when classmate Jakob Strandsäter sent a low cross into the box where the Norwegian was there to blast home his seventh goal of the season.
He added his second goal of the match in the 55^th minute when Evan Szklennik rebounded his own shot and found an open Daehlie for the tally.
Daehlie nearly recorded a hat trick, but his attempt in the 68^th minute just missed the right side of goal.
Tiedemann provided the final strike in the 90^th minute off a double assist from Sergio Arzubiaga and Taylor Martin.
INSIDE THE BOX SCORE
Daehlie scored the Highlanders' last three goals before Tiedemann tallied his sixth goal of the season.
With his eighth goal of the season, Daehlie ties Longwood's Willy Miezan for the most goals scored by a Big South freshman this year.
Daehlie's performance was the first multi-goal effort by a Highlander since Tiedemann found the back of the net twice against Longwood.
Nineteen of Radford's league-leading 31 goals scored this season are by underclassmen.
Daehlie led all Highlanders with a season-high six shots.
Radford outshot its opponent for the 13^th time this season, gaining a 16-11 advantage over the Flames.
By assisting on Daehlie's second goal of the match, Szklennik is the Big South leader in assists (five).
Liberty earned a 7-4 favor in corners.
The Highlanders have won eight of their last nine outings and are only one win away from tying their total victories from last season.
RU defeated the Flames for the third straight meeting.
Liberty was held scoreless for the third straight game.
Behind Aitor Pouseu Blanco's two saves, the Highlanders charted their fifth shutout of the season.

QUOTABLE

"I thought we played very well tonight. We defended excellently against Liberty's pace. I am really pleased with the three goals we scored. They were all quality team goals. We have a fast turnaround to be ready for a tough Gardner-Webb side on Friday night." ~ Radford head coach, Marc Reeves
