HIGH POINT, N.C.— High Point University women's soccer hosts Conference USA foe Marshall this Friday, facing off with the Herd on ESPN+ at 7:00 p.m. at Vert Stadium.

On the Panthers
• High Point picked up their second shutout of the year against Elon last week, working to a 0-0 draw with the Phoenix
• Lauren Mazich had career-highs in shots (3) and shots on goal (3) against UNCG last Monday, while her six attempts at net trail only Skyler Prillaman (9) for a team-high
• Freshmen Prillaman and Caitlin Shepherd are currently tied for a team lead in goals (2) and points (4), with the latter scoring most recently on a penalty at Virginia Tech
• Prillaman and Shaylyn Owen are the only two Panther freshmen to have started all six contests this year, while HPU has had 12 players make their career debuts in 2018
• High Point has split time between three different goalkeepers this season; senior Emily Lyon currently leads her side in both starts (3) and wins (1), while junior goaltender Talia Klimes has team-bests in goals against average (1.16) and save percentage (.867)
• Excluding the Panthers' match against UNCW, defender Allie Reagan has played all but 17 minutes of her four starts against App State, Virginia Tech, Elon and UNCG this year
 
On the Herd
• Marshall is yet to win on the road this season, with its lone win coming at home in a 2-1 decision over Eastern Kentucky
• Junior forward Marah Abu-Tayeh currently leads the Herd with three goals and eight points, no other Marshall player has more than two points on the year
• Junior Megan Bonelli has played every minute at goalkeeper for the Herd this season. Her 1.91 GAA sits only 10th in CUSA, but her 28 saves rank second, having already faced 60 shots on the year
 
Series Notes:
• The Panthers and Herd have faced one another just twice prior to this Friday, with HPU emerging victorious in both of those decisions
• Ten players from HPU's current squad competed in that previous match with Marshall, while Alex Denny, Allie Reagan and Mackenzie Mullins all earned a start
• HPU is 3-5-0 against current Conference USA members all-time, yet Marshall is the only team from that group the Panthers have faced since 2011
 
Coming Up Next:
• High Point heads back up to Virginia to meet James Madison this Sunday at 1 p.m. in Harrisonburg
• The Panthers have never played JMU before, despite being less than four hours away, as the Dukes have started off the season with a 1-4 record
