SCORING SUMMARY 
HOW IT HAPPENED

  • Krzysztof Nalborski picked a perfect time to net his first goal of the season when he blasted a rocket through the right side of goal in the 13th minute.
  • Sivert Daehlie, the 2015 Big South Freshman of the Year, notched his 12th goal of the season in the 64th minute when he received a cross from Fraser Colmer and headed the attempt into goal.
     
INSIDE THE BOX SCORE
  • Radford's 14 wins are the third-most recorded in a single season in program history.
  • The Highlanders' program record for wins in a single season is 15, which was accomplished in 1990 and 1991.
  • RU downed the Runnin' Bulldogs for the seventh straight time overall and third consecutive time in the conference tournament.
  • Radford improved to 9-5-1 all-time against Gardner-Webb.
  • The Highlanders secured their ninth shutout of the season, which ties for the top mark in the Big South.
  • RU has not yielded a goal in 528 minutes of game action.
  • Daehlie's 12th goal of the season moves the freshman into a tie for 10th in the nation in most goals scored.
  • The Highlanders' 40 goals rank 11th in the nation.
  • Radford held advantages in shots (29-5) and corners (10-3).
  • With the win, the Highlanders improved to 8-0-1 at Cupp Stadium in 2015.
 
QUOTABLE
  • "I thought this was another professional performance against a tough team. We gave up very little and created a ton of chances. We really should have extended the lead, but 2-0 in a quarterfinal is a great result. We must use all the time between now and Friday to prepare well for an excellent High Point team, as we look to extend our season. I want to express a big thank you to everyone who came out tonight and all year to help us go undefeated at home this season." ~ Radford head coach, Marc Reeves
 
UP NEXT
  • Radford heads to Bryan Park in Greensboro, N.C., for Friday's Big South semifinal against No. 6 seed High Point at 7 p.m.
  • The Panthers upset 20th-ranked and No. 3 seed Coastal Carolina, 4-2, in penalty kicks Tuesday night in Conway, S.C.
