90th Minute Goal Steals Tie from Women’s Soccer at Campbell

BUIES CREEK, N.C. – The Radford women's soccer team fell in a heartbreaker Wednesday night at Campbell as a 90th-minute goal allowed the Camels to sneak out with a 2-1 win.

Wednesday night marked the 25th meeting between the two programs in which neither owned a lead in the series history at 11-11-2. Tonight's match-up was another one to fit that tone as the two teams played about equally through the full 90.

Radford's offense was pressuring the Camels defensive back line for most of the match but wasn't able to convert on any of the opportunities. A goal in the 23rd minute gave Campbell a 1-0 edge that would hod for almost 60 minutes.

In the 81st minute, Radford had a golden opportunity thanks to a handball setting up a penalty kick. Alexeis Kirnos stepped up and made the clutch shot for the Highlanders that equalized the game at one-all. It was Kirnos' fourth penalty kick goal of her career after an incredible three goals via penalty kick in the 2022 campaign.

With ten minutes left, the Highlanders' defense faced a tall task as a potent Campbell offense made a final push at trying to regain their lead. After a free kick from about midfield with just 30 seconds remaining, the Camels took a loose ball just outside the box and placed it in the net to gain the 2-1 advantage that held for the final score.

"It's a tough place to get a result," commented head coach Ben Sohrabi. "I think we played extremely well in the midfield and controlled most of the game. I'm proud of the way we fought our way back into the game but we have to finish better. I don't have any problems with our game tonight except we have to be a bit better in the 18s."

Radford is back at home for its next match as they play host to Mount St. Mary's on Sunday, August 27th. The Highlanders and Mountaineers are meeting for the fifth time in the last six years. Kickoff is set for 2:00 p.m. with action being streamed on ESPN+.
