Albany, N.Y. - Freshman Nina Walters scored her first collegiate goal to put UAlbany up by two in leading the Great Danes to a 2-0 victory over Radford on Sunday afternoon at Alumni Turf Field. It was the second shutout for UAlbany in as many days, as the Great Danes opened the season with a 2-0 victory over Bucknell on Saturday.

            UAlbany's Sarah Deane broke a scoreless tie in the second half, as Radford goalkeeper Jennifer Wisniewski came out of the cage. Deane collected a pass from Tessa Knapp and fired a shot into the upper right corner of the goal to put the Great Danes up, 1-0, in the 53rd minute of play. Walters doubled the score in the 66th minute, tipping a shot from Suzy Clephane into the goal on a corner.

The Great Danes outshot the Highlanders, 17-0, and held a 10-0 advantage in penalty corners. Wisniewski played 70:00 in the cage for Radford (1-1), making nine saves. UAlbany's Christine Hoffman and Kristi Troch split time in goal for the UAlbany, each playing a half.

UAlbany (2-0) will return to action on Saturday, Sept. 5, visiting Hofstra at 1 p.m.
