HIGH POINT, N.C. – The High Point University women's basketball team is back on the road at Campbell on Tuesday at 7 p.m. in Gore Arena.
 
The Panthers (5-12, 3-3) moved back to .500 in Big South action with a dramatic 71-69 victory over Gardner-Webb on Saturday. Meanwhile, the Camels (13-4, 5-1) continued their hot start to conference play with a 66-54 win at Longwood.
 
Quick Hitters
• Former AAU teammates in Dayton, Ohio, Emma Bockrath and Shea Morgan both posted season-highs in scoring in the win over Gardner-Webb. Bockrath tallied 24 points while Morgan added 12. The duo also combined for nine rebounds, seven assists and shot 12-of-22.
 
• Emma Bockrath has ramped up her already staggering production since the conference season started. The sophomore is averaging 15.8 points, 6.8 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 2.7 steals in HPU's six league contests.
 
• For the second straight season, the Panthers are leading the Big South in free throw shooting percentage (.760) and is second in the league in three point shooting percentage (.342). HPU ranks 29th in the nation from the charity stripe.
 
• High Point was credited with 20 assists on its 27 made shots against the Runnin' Bulldogs on Saturday. Now the team averages assists on 60.0 percent of its field goals this season. For comparison, the 2015-16 squad dished out assists on 50.5 percent of its made baskets while the Camels have assisted on 55.2 percent of their buckets this winter.
 
• Outside of her record scoring pace, Kaylah Keys is headed toward other remarkable career milestones. The guard needs 49 rebounds, 17 assists and 12 steals to become the first Panther in the team's Division I era to rack up 400 rebounds, 300 assists and 200 steals.
 
• Kaylah Keys has started 102 games in her HPU career and needs just four more to break Frances Fields' Division I program record.
 
• In 2015-16, the Purple & White averaged 35.8 rebounds per game and finished 241st in the nation. However, this season the Panthers have stepped it up on the glass pulling down 40.4, which ranks 85th nationally and third in the conference.
 
• Kat Harris is now 44-of-50 (.880) from the line this year, which is good for second in the Big South and 22nd in the country. She trails only Ke'Asia Jackson, who is shooting .921, in Harris' quest to repeat as the league-leader.
 
All-Time Series with Campbell
The Panthers own a 26-12 edge in the overall series after both teams won on the road last season.
 
Last Time They Met
Emma Bockrath and Kat Harris combined for 39 points as the Purple & White fell 68-65 to the Camels in the Millis Center on March 1, 2016.
 
Scouting the Camels
Despite being picked to finish eighth, Campbell is one of the hottest teams in the league winning five of their first six games and posting a +9.2 scoring margin. Guard Summer Price anchors the lineup averaging 12.5 points, 2.0 assists and 1.5 steals per contest.
 
The Matchup to Watch
Tuesday presents a classic matchup between the conference's stingiest defense and highest-scoring offense. On the year, Campbell has limited its opponents to just 45.9 points per outing. Meanwhile, High Point leads the league racking up 67.1 points per game. Pace of play will be a factor as the Camels take 53 shots per game and HPU attempts 63 field goals per night.
 
Next Up
HPU is home to host Presbyterian at 1 p.m. on Sunday, Jan. 29 in a game carried on the American Sports Network.
