High Point Notes:
            • High Point battled back from two goals down to pick up a 4-2 win on the road at USC Upstate over the weekend. The Panthers remain undefeated with the win, improving to 5-0-1 on the season.
            • Senior Chris Ramsell led HPU's comeback bid with two goals and an assist. He scored the first from the penalty spot then tied the game with a goal off a corner kick. Redshirt-senior Erien Campbell put High Point in front then senior Renato Punyed scored with a shot from distance to add an insurance goal.
            • High Point comes into the week second in the nation in goals per game after scoring 18 goals in the team's first six games of the season. HPU needs just four goals to match their total against Div. I opponents last season.
            • Redshirt-freshman Ben Hietala was named the Big South Come Ready Nutrition Freshman of the Week after scoring the game-winning goal in HPU's 1-0 win over Marshall in the 85th minute. He is the third Freshman of the Week honoree for the Panthers, who have won all four nods this season.
            • Ramsell and freshman Siggi Benonysson leads the Panthers with 10 points on four goals and two assists. Freshman Bana Ganidekam is tied with Ramsell and Benonysson for the team lead in assists.
