HOW IT HAPPENED

Radford and 10^th-ranked Coastal Carolina battled to a scoreless draw Saturday night in Big South men's soccer action at CCU Soccer Stadium in Conway, S.C.
Sivert Daehlie nearly netted his seventh game-winner of the season in the 26^th minute when he jetted behind the Chanticleer backline, but Coastal's Fernando Pina came off his line to foil the 1v1 opportunity.
INSIDE THE BOX SCORE
With the tie, Radford clinches at least a share of its sixth Big South regular-season championship.
The Highlanders claimed at least a share of the conference regular-season title in back-to-back years for the second time in program history. Radford also won back-to-back league championships in 1987-88.
RU concludes Big South play with a 7-1-1 record, which currently leads the league.
Winthrop (6-1-1) and Coastal (6-1-1) are one game back entering the last week of the regular season.
Daehlie and Jakob Strandsäter combined for the Highlanders' two shots on goal.
Both teams fired eight shots, while the Chants gained a 7-4 edge in corners.
Aitor Pouseu Blanco recorded two saves in goal for the Highlanders, who notched their seventh shutout of the season.

QUOTABLE

"This was a great college game involving what I believe are two very good teams who were competing hard each and every play. Coastal is an exceptionally talented and well-coached team that is deserving of its high national ranking. I believe we were every bit as good today and through the season. This means we are guaranteed at least a share of the regular-season title for which I am very proud of this group. We will regroup and be ready for a great non-conference and final regular-season game against an excellent Elon team that is having a fantastic season." ~ Radford head coach, Marc Reeves
