Milestone Watch
Redshirt senior Jenson Edwards is nearing her 1,000^th point milestone. Edwards has recorded 996 career points over four seasons with the Panthers. She tallied 10 points at ECU to go along with a team-high nine rebounds. Edwards also reached 500 career rebounds earlier this season, making her the 11^th Panther in HPU's NCAA Division I history to do so. If Edwards reaches 1,000 career points, she will become the seventh Panther in the DI era to reach 1,000 career points and 500 career rebounds.

New Faces Make Presence Known
Two freshmen joined the HPU roster this season, guard Anna Häger and forward Nevaeh Zavala. Häger posted 12 points on 5-of-8 shooting with five rebounds while going 2-for-4 from beyond the arc. Zavala chipped in a three-pointer and two rebounds in 15 minutes played in her Purple and White debut.
 
Back For More
High Point returns four of its five leading scorers from a season ago in Jenson Edwards, Nakyah Terrell, Callie Scheier, and Cydney Johnson. 2021-22 Big South Preseason Player of the Year Skyler Curran also returns in 22-23 after a season-ending injury sidelined her in the first regular season game. Besides Terrell, each player was on the 2020-21 NCAA Tournament team and played significant minutes against UConn.
 
Terrell Looks to Capitalized After Breakout Season
Sophomore Nakyah Terrell had a breakout freshman season in 2021-22, emerging as the third-leading scorer for the Panthers. Named the Big South Player of the Week three times and featured on the All-Freshman team a season ago, Terrell averaged 8.4 points and 5.4 rebounds per game while passing out 54 assists and tallying 25 steals. She recorded 10 double-digit scoring games, one double-double (vs. Wake Forest, Nov. 24), and two 20-point scoring games.  
 
Year Two in the Qubein Center
After amassing a 9-5 record in its new home a season ago, HPU returns to the state-of-the-art Qubein Arena & Conference Center for its second season. In last season's exhibition contest against Mount Olive, the Panther women posted an 82-68 win in front of a crowd of 1,354 fans in Purple & White. Throughout 14 games in the regular season in the Qubein Center, HPU brought in over 11,600 spectators.
