The High Point University volleyball team treated itself to an impressive 3-0 (31-29, 30-23, 30-27) sweep over in-state rival Campbell on Halloween night at the Millis Center on Tuesday.

The win was the Panthers third in a row and upped their season tally to 9-18. Campbell slipped to 11-16 on the year with the loss.

Junior Jamie Kaufman recorded her 17th double-double of the year to lead HPU, finishing with 17 kills and 13 digs along with a team-high three aces. No other Panther reached double-digits offensively with Lindsay Raus tallying nine kills and the freshmen duo of Audie Gonzalez and Megan Kaminskas both chipping in seven kills.

Gonzalez led a quartet of High Point players in double-figure digs picking up 19 in the match followed by 17 from Lauren Hatch and 10 by Tara Dyer. High Point out-blocked a much taller Campbell squad in the contest winning the battle at the net 8.5 to 7 in team blocks, with Raus topping the charts with four. Sophomore setter Kristina Taylor finished with 43 assists while guiding HPU to a .233 team hitting percentage.

Sophomore Femi Alabi paced the Camel attack recording 20 kills in 29 attempts with only two hitting miscues for a .621 hitting performance. Rachel Templin added 14 kills and five blocks for Campbell with Brittany Rusin (17) and Melissa Harvey (13) both reaching double-digits in digs.

"We played extremely well tonight," said HPU head coach Chad Esposito. "This may have been our best overall match of the season. We stayed focused throughout the match and were able to record key sideouts when we needed them. I thought we served aggressively and kept them off balance and our defense was tremendous again. Offensively, we were very consistent and made some smart shots. Hopefully we can continue to build on our win streak this weekend on the road in the Big South."

Game one saw Campbell take an early five-point lead (10-5) and then maintain an advantage until High Point rallied to tie the score at 18. The two squads traded points for several rotations with neither team holding more than a three-point lead the remainder of the frame. HPU led 28-26 with the serve, but CU fought back to even the score at 29, before High Point recorded the final two points for the victory.

High Point used a mid-game surge in the second stanza to take control and grab a 2-0 match lead. The Panthers hit .300 in game two while holding Campbell to just an .065 performance.

Both teams stepped up their frontline defense in the third game as HPU recorded 5.5 blocks in the frame and Campbell tallied five. The Panthers opened up a 17-10 margin only to see the Camels keep fighting and close the gap to three points (22-19). High Point pushed ahead 28-22, but Campbell fought off three match-points before Raus and Ashley Mellott teamed for a block to score the deciding point.

High Point hits the road for a pair of important Big South Conference matches this weekend at Radford (Friday) and Liberty (Saturday). The Panthers will close out their regular season home slate next Tuesday against non-conference foe North Carolina A&T at 7 p.m.
