Box Score

RADFORD, Va. – The Radford men's soccer program held strong in the first half but conceded a pair of goals in the second on Saturday afternoon to fall at home to High Point 2-0.

KEY STATS

High Point led the shot battle with 9 of their 18 shots coming on goal.
Ben Miller has faced a total of 35 shots in the past two games, saving 15 of them and only allowing two goals.
Both Carter McClain and Michael Radomski provided good minutes off the bench leading to both of Radford's shots on goal.
Radford was playing a physical game leading to 11 fouls with McClain and Jayce Pagano receiving a yellow cards.

PLAY BY PLAY
Radford's defense came in strong just as it had a week ago holding a similarly nationally ranked team scoreless. In the first half of play, Radford's defense would remain impenetrable against the #11 Panthers. Fukai Imamura and Tyler Pulik's efforts would help Miller stop any chances from the Panthers.

Radford would come out of the half tied 0-0 looking to build an opportunity off of a free kick from Kiril Smirnov. His shot would go just to the right of the goal. Moments later in the 53^rd minute the Panthers would score the winning goal off of a cross to a header that found its way past Miller. In the 62^nd minute, the Panthers would score their second and final goal of the game to give them the 2-0 lead.

The Highlanders wouldn't give up hope as they continued to apply pressure led by Radomski's fresh legs. But ultimately, they couldn't get anything past the goalie of High Point leading to the game finishing 2-0.

UP NEXT
Radford will now move on to play their final out of conference game against California at home on Wednesday, October 22nd. Action will kick off at 7 p.m. and the game will be broadcast on ESPN+.
