RADFORD, Va. – The Radford women's soccer team plays the first of three straight road matches on Wednesday as it travels to Charleston Southern for a 3 p.m. kickoff.

Following a pair of one-goal setbacks last week, the Highlanders (5-5, 0-2) will look to break through for their first Big South win. Offensively, they created chances in their first two conference games, totaling 43 shots, second-most of any team. For the season, RU now leads the conference in shots, averaging over 21 per game, while ranking third in goals and points. A total of 12 Highlanders have contributed to the goal total, while 17 have notched at least one point. Individually, senior Asyia Mitchell has taken over the team lead in shots (29), just ahead of freshman Jasmine Casarez (27). Freshmen Ana Revollo and Amanda Philip continue to pace the team with their three goals, while sophomore Jordan Lundin has a squad-best three assists. Defensively, Katie McCormick is fourth in the league with 43 saves.
