Panther Notes
- HPU closed out the non-conference portion of its schedule with an inter-Triad loss at UNCG last Saturday (Dec. 21).
- Sophomore Skyler Curran led the team with 28 points and 10 rebounds to secure her first career double-double.
- Senior Camryn Brown was the only other Panther in double-digits, adding 17 points in the loss. She now has 948 career points, 52 shy of becoming the 13th Panther to score 1,000 career points in the Division I era.
- Danielle Deoul started the first game of her career last time out, with the redshirt sophomore scoring a career-high eight points in a career-high 24 minutes on the court.
- High Point broke its single-game three-point field goal attempts record for the third time this year in the game at UNCG, attempting 45 shots from behind the arc. That tops the previous two records from this year of 40 at Duke in the season-opener and 42 against ETSU in the team's first win of the season.

Across the Bench

- Tuelle is second on the team in rebounding, grabbing 5.3 rebounds per game, behind only redshirt junior Taya Bolden's 5.7 RPG.

- The Fighting Camels are well-disciplined, coming into the game with only 142 fouls committed, the 18th fewest in the country. Campbell has only turned the ball over 121 times, the least amount in the conference and seventh-fewest in D1.
