Quick Hitters
• Shea Morgan has scored in double figures in nine of the 16 Big South games this season. The junior had scored in double figures in 16 times in her previous 72 career appearances.
 
• The Panthers are 14-4 when at least three players score in double figures this season and are 14-3 when they score 60 or more points. However, the team has been held below 60 in seven of the last 10 games.
 
• Through the first 19 games HPU made an average of 2.1 more three's per contest than they allowed while shooting 39.1 percent from downtown. However, in the last eight the team is shooting 15.0 percent and losing the three-point battle by 2.4 per game.
 
• Bockrath was named to the CoSIDA Academic All-District Team for the second straight season. She joins Leslie Cook as the only two Panthers to achieve the feat twice. Last year, Bockrath's selection made her the third All-District selection at High Point.
 
• The Purple & White are the only squad in the Big South to have the same starting five in every game this season. Camryn Brown, Bockrath, Lindsey Edwards, Morgan and Kennedy Currie have started all 27 games as a unit.
 
• Head coach DeUnna Hendrix has 74 Big South wins, which makes her the eighth winningest coach in league history. Meanwhile, her .667 winning percentage is the third-highest mark among coaches with 100 regular season league games.
 
• High Point has won at least 10 Big South games in each of the past seven years. That is the second-longest streak in the league's history behind Liberty's current streak (19).
 
• The Panthers are 74-37 against conference foes under Hendrix. That's the second-best mark in the league during her tenure at High Point trailing only Liberty and includes a 40-16 mark when hosting Big South opponents in the Millis Center.

• Bockrath became the 10th HPU D-I player to reach 1,000 points with her 21-point outing versus UNC Asheville.
 
• Harris has 998 points her in High Point career needing just two to join Bockrath in the 1,000-point club.
 
• The last time the Purple & White had teammates reach 1,000 points in the same season was when Cheyenne Parker and Erin Reynolds reached that threshold during the 2012-13 campaign.
 
Turning Up the Heat on Defense
• The Panthers defense under new associate head coach Heather Kearney has played a more in-your-face style of defense. That change in style has resulted in improved three-point defense (.310 to .275), steals per game (7.3 to 10.0) and turnovers forced per game (14.4 to 18.89).
 
• High Point is second in the Big South in three-point field goal percentage defense and ranks 16th nationally allowing opponents to hit 27.5 percent from deep.
 
• Led by Bockrath, the league's top thief, seven of the eight players in the team's standard rotation average at least 0.9 steals per game.
 
• The havoc caused by the defense has exploded in Big South action winning the turnover margin by 6.19 turnovers per game. The team has parlayed those extra possessions into a 336-178 edge in points off turnovers.
