The Start of Conference Play

Conference play started out strong with the Panthers off to a 3-0 start! Wins have come against UNC Ashville, Winthrop and Liberty. The ladies have looked very strong defensively and offensively allowing only one goal while scoring six! The 3-0 record puts the Panthers in second place in the conference with only Coastal Carolina ahead of them with five wins.

The Panthers lost a heart breaker to Charleston Southern Saturday 2-1 in a double overtime match. Charleston came from behind and scored with 3 seconds left in regulation to force overtime. Looking to bounce back and finish conference play as strong as they started the Panthers travel to Presbyterian on Wednesday at 4pm and are back at home in Vert Stadium on Saturday against VMI at 7pm. Come out and support your Panthers Saturday night at Vert Stadium as they try and finish strong and head into the conference tournament ranked number 1!

The Long Month of September

WHEW! September has been a long month for the HPU women's soccer team! The team traveled over 2500 miles (all by bus) and spent every weekend in a hotel. All while posting an impressive 3-1-2 record with 18 goals for and only 8 against as well as posting 2 shutouts. The highlight of the month came in Murfreesboro, TN at the MTSU tournament where the Panthers took home the championship trophy with wins over Alabama A&M (4-0) and the host team MTSU (3-2) who had never lost in their home tournament. Our ties came against rival Elon Universisty (1-1) and Georgia Southern (4-4) with the lone loss of the month coming to College of Charleston (1-0). We topped off the long month with a win at South Carolina State (6-0) which is a great way to finish our non-conference schedule and should catapult us into conference play which starts this Wednesday October 1st at UNC Asheville and then at home against Winthrop on Friday October 4th. We urge everyone to come out and support your HPU women's soccer team throughout conference play as we have 4 home games in the month of October and 1 in November as well as hosting the Big South Tournament November 6-9 right here at Vert Stadium. Check back often as updates will be posted regularly as well as some of your favorite players will be making posts and contributions for everyone to enjoy. Pictures from the trips will be posted soon.

Inside HPU Admissions

This is the first installment of our own HPU campus tour - some of the HPU athletic administration and coaching staff were able to take an actual campus tour ... similar to the tour that they give to all prospective students that want to enter HPU. Laney and Sally are awesome ... they are the first people you see when you enter the admissions building at High Point University. They are funny and welcoming all at the same time ... they're fairly talented ... see for yourselves!
