The High Point University Men's soccer team (4-1) (2-0) travels to Campbell for a rematch of last season's Big South Championship. The Panthers have only conceded three goals through five games of play, Holden Trent is 23rd in the NCAA in shutouts with two on the year. MD Myers leads HPU and the nation in scoring with eight goals through the early season. What makes Myers's eight-goal mark so impressive is that he is side by side with ACC players that played games in the fall. Myers is the nation's leading scorer in just five games. The Panthers' performance through five games is one of the most impressive in the nation as High Point is in the top ten nationally in four-team categories. HPU is fifth in scoring offense, tied for eighth in assists per game, fifth for points in-game, and tied for seventh in goal differential.Â

Haines on Last Time
"We were excellent tonight, we were dominant in every category", Coach Zach Haines said after the 4-1 win over Radford. "The most impressive thing about the guys tonight is that they responded. We did not have our best performance and obviously did not get the result at Liberty so we talked all week about responding, being resilient, making sure that we came out with the right approach and the right mentality. We were at it from the very beginning, we were fantastic tonight so I am really proud of the result, of course anytime you can get a result in the Big South but the way we did it was really impressive. Particularly coming off of a little bit of adversity last week."Â
Limiting Chances
