RADFORD, Va. – Following a week of practice, the Radford women's soccer team returns to game action Sunday as it travels to Tennessee Tech for its final non-conference road match. Kickoff is scheduled for 2 p.m. and the game will be streamed live on the Ohio Valley Conference Digital Network.

The Highlanders (4-2) have won their last two games overall and are looking to start a season 3-0 on the road for the first time since 2002. They have been balanced offensively with seven different players tallying goals and four recording assists. Freshman midfielder Jasmine Casarez entered this weekend's play tied for second in the Big South in shots (21) and third in shots per game (3.50). Senior forward Asyia Mitchell has totaled eight of her 14 shots in the last two games. Sophomore goalkeeper Katie McCormick has come up big on the road, totaling 17 saves in the wins over Appalachian State and USC Upstate.
