WOMEN'S SOCCER CHAMPIONSHIP CENTRAL
Sunday's contest marks the first women's soccer on-campus championship match since 2021, as well as just the fourth championship meeting between the No. 2 and No. 4 seeds. The previous times were in 1998, 2012 and 2025, and . The No. 2 seed won the 2012 tournament, while the No. 4 seed prevailed in both 1998 and 2025.
UNC Asheville is making its first appearance in the Big South Championship match since 2006, which was the last time the Bulldogs hoisted the trophy. Asheville is hosting the Championship Final for the first time, and is seeking its third overall conference crown (won in 1995 and 2006). The last No. 2 seed to win the conference tournament was High Point in 2021, while the last program to win on its home field was HPU in 2003.
Radford returns to the Championship Final for the first time since 2023, which was the last time the Highlanders won it all. Radford is seeking its 10th Big South crown (1998-02-08-11-12-18-19-22-23), which would extend the conference record for most women's soccer championships. The Highlanders are also looking to become the second consecutive No. 4 seed to capture the trophy, and fourth overall (1993, 1998, 2025).
The programs are going head-to-head in the Championship contest for the third time, and Radford has won both previous meetings -- first in 1998 as the No. 4 seed over the No. 2-seeded Bulldogs (1-0), and again in 2002 (2-0). Radford holds a 5-0-1 postseason series record against Asheville.
