High Point Notes:
• HPU fell at home, 1-0, on Wednesday night against Campbell. The Panthers put four shots on net in the final 10 minutes but weren't able to get over the hump of a goal in the 65th minute.
• High Point has not lost back-to-back conference games under head coach EJ O'Keeffe in his two-plus seasons. HPU has not lost consecutive Big South games since Oct. 12 and 15, 2011.
• Sophomore keeper Keegan Meyer saw his scoreless streak snapped at 264:37 Wednesday. Despite that, Meyer has allowed just two goals in his last 417:25 in net. Meyer leads the league in GAA (0.50) and save percentage (.875) in conference games.
• Five of the Panthers' last eight games have gone past regulation, including four 2OT games. With the tie at App State, 21 of HPU's 50 games under O'Keeffe have needed OT. HPU holds a 3-4-14 record when extra time is needed.
• HPU has shown its scoring depth this season with their 10 goals coming from seven different players. Overall, 10 different players have recorded a point so far this year.

• High Point was the lone Big South team to knock off Radford in the regular season a year ago, winning 1-0 on a Jonathan Bolanos goal in the 19th minute.
• HPU has won back-to-back matches against RU, including a dramatic 4-3 win in the Big South semifinals in 2015.
• The Panthers and Highlanders have gone to overtime in the last two matches at Cupp Stadium. HPU is looking to snap a nine-game winless streak in the New River Valley (0-6-3).
