The Highlanders scored the opening goal just over a minute into the first quarter. Wofford took a 3-1 lead with 10:14 on the clock with a pair of free position shots by Bria Foley and a goal by Emma Stalteri. Radford scored the next two goals to tie the game at 3-3 with 6:54 left in the first quarter.

A late goal by the Highlanders and a goal by Ava Santanastasio with under a minute to play gave Wofford the 19-7 victory.
 
"I think our offense was very unselfish today and we had a lot of ball movement," said head coach Jessie Aguglia. "Each year this group of seniors has gotten better. They are definitely leaving the program better than they found it, which is all you can ask for out of a senior class. Just watching them come together this last year has been really special, and I think it has fueled our team success."
 
Radford is 2-11 overall and 0-5 in league play. The Highlanders were led by Molly O'Brien with three goals.  
 
Wofford (6-8, 3-2) will visit High Point on Wednesday, April 16, for a 5:00 p.m. contest.
