Oct. 20, 2011 - Women's soccer pulls out 1-0 overtime win at Radford
FULL STORY

The High Point University women's soccer team traveled up to Radford on Oct. 20, 2011 to take on the Highlanders. Radford was undefeated in Big South play.

Radford seemed to have the advantage in the first half but senior goalkeeper Andrea Ritchie made five saves to keep the game scoreless.

Finally, in the 96th minute, sophomore Kelli Joline broke the tie with her seventh goal of the season. Joline headed in a cross from Sammy Vercellino to give HPU its first overtime win of the season.

Freshman Alise LeCompte started the play for the Panthers with a free kick from 45 yards away from goal into the box that sophomore Becca Hemby jumped up and flicked on to Vercellino in the left flank. The outside back dribbled in towards the left post before hitting a pass across the face of goal where Joline made a run up the middle and headed in the game winner. The goal was Joline's team-best seventh of the season.

Radford went on to finish 6-2 in Big South play and won the 2011 Big South Conference Women's Soccer Championship.
