HIGH POINT, N.C. – The High Point University women's basketball team looks to continue its hot start in Big South action at Campbell on Tuesday at 7:00 p.m. in Gore Arena.
 
The Panthers (10-5) have won six straight contests including their first 4-0 start in conference play under head coach DeUnna Hendrix. On the other hand, the Camels (9-6) are 2-2 in the Big South after a 65-59 setback at Presbyterian on Saturday.
 
Quick Hitters
• Emma Bockrath earned Big South Player of the Week honors after racking up 24.0, 7.0 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 3.0 steals per contest while leading the Panthers to back-to-back 20-point wins over Presbyterian and Winthrop.
 
• Lindsey Edwards had a breakout performance at Winthrop on Saturday tying her career high in rebounds, assists and steals while adding 15 points.
 
• During her first season as the team's main point guard, Camryn Brown leads the Big South and 49th nationally with a 2.3 assist-to-turnover ratio.
 
• Including the flurry of victories to end the 2016-17 season, the Purple & White have won 14 of their last 15 regular season contests against Big South opponents with the only loss in that run being to the Camels.
 
• The Panthers are on a six-game winning streak, which is the longest this year and longest since the team claimed seven straight in the middle of conference play in 2013-14.
 
• Bockrath - the 2016-17 Big South Player of the Year - has scored in double figures 30 times in 42 career contests against Big South Conference foes. Those 30 games include eight 20-point outbursts.
 
• Saturday was the 100th Big South regular season game for head coach DeUnna Hendrix. Her 68 wins make her the eighth winningest coach in league history while her .680 winning percentage is the second highest mark among coaches with 100 regular season league games behind Liberty's Carey Green.
 
• The Panthers are 68-32 against conference foes under Hendrix. That's the second-best mark in the league during her tenure at High Point trailing only Liberty.
 
• During Hendrix's six years roaming the HPU sideline, the team has gone 31-19 on the road against Big South opponents.
 
• The Panthers are 4-0 in the league, which is the best start of Hendrix's career as a head coach. However, as an assistant, Hendrix helped HPU open league play 9-0 in 2011-12.
 
• HPU is the only Big South team with three players in the top-10 in scoring with Harris (5th), Bockrath (6th) and Brown (10th).
 
Sharpshooters Finding Their Strokes
• The Panthers lead the Big South and rank fifth nationally drilling 40.3 percent of their three-point attempts this season. Incredibly, that's 4.6 percent higher than that season when the team's 35.7 percent mark broke the program's single-season record.
 
• The 40.3 percent mark trails only Charleston Southern's 2009-10 squad for the Big South single season record. That team hit 44.2 percent of its three-point attempts.
 
• Brown and Kat Harris are No. 1 and No. 2 in the Big South and rank among the top-55 nationally in three-point percentage. Brown's 42.7 mark ranks 36th in the nation as Harris sits 19 spots behind her hitting 41.5 percent.
 
Reserves Needed
• The Panthers are 8-1 when the bench outscores their opponent's reserves and 2-4 when that margin is reversed.
 
• HPU averages a 26.8-18.0 edge in its wins and a 19.4-14.6 deficit in losses. Harris has accounted for 57 of the 73 bench points in the team's five losses.
 
Race to 1,000 Career Points
Senior Kat Harris and junior Emma Bockrath enter Tuesday's content tied for 12th in High Point's Division I career scoring list with 900 points apiece. When they score their next 100 points, they will become the 10th and 11 Panthers to eclipse 1,000 points in the Purple & White.
 
All-Time Series with Campbell
• The Camels have cut into HPU lead in the series winning the last three including sweeping the Panthers in last year's meetings. Despite the late surge by CU, High Point still holds a 26-14 edge and has a 9-8 record when visiting Gore Arena despite last year's 58-33 setback.
 
•Campbell, winners of the last three games in the series with HPU, has never defeated the Panthers four straight times.
 
Scouting the Camels
Campbell once again boasts one of the best defenses in America and has the No. 55 rebounding team registering a plus-6.1 per game margin on the boards. Helping the defense the Camels are methodical on offense and rely heavily on Summer Price to score. Price's 16.7 points per game rank second in the conference and represents 27 percent of the team's scoring, which is the highest share of any Big South player this season.
 
Matchup to Watch
Tuesday's showdown will match HPU's league-leading offense against Campbell's conference-best defense. The Panthers average 75.5 points per game while the Camels allow their opponents to score just 53.3 per night ranking fifth nationally. Last year it was the Campbell defense that held the advantage winning both games by holding HPU to 43.0 points per game and 34.3 percent shooting.
 
Next Up
HPU stays on the road on Tuesday when it heads to Campbell - the only Big South foe to sweep the Panthers last season.
