Panthers Notes
House Call
Myers has been on fire to start the season. The Delran, New Jersey native is ranked fifth in the nation in goals per game. Myers currently has six goals through HPU's first four games.
The Week that Was
Myers has earned national media attention for the second week in a row as College Soccer News named Myers to the Men's National Team of the Week. Myers scored two goals in the game against Wofford last Wednesday night in the 2-0. Myers has six goals on the season. His two goals against Wofford marked the third straight game with a brace for the sophomore. This is the second consecutive week Myers has won the honor of Big South Offensive Player of the Week.
Limiting Chances

Bring 'em Back
High Point seniors Mason Marcey & Nick Phipps announced on social media earlier this week that they are coming back for the Fall of 2021 season. This means the Panthers will return the entire roster from this spring & add a Top 25 recruiting class into the mix.
