LAST WEEKEND
The Eagles had an up-and-down weekend last week, picking up a four-set victory over UNC Asheville on Friday before falling in five sets to Gardner-Webb on Saturday. Freshman Lourdes Rosario continued her dominant offensive performances, posting two 20-kills outings. She recorded a career-high 23 kills against UNC Asheville and followed that up with her fifth double-double of the season with 22 kills and 14 digs against Gardner-Webb. Those performances earned her the Big South Freshman of the Week award.
ABOUT HIGH POINT
High Point comes into the weekend with a 13-7 overall record and a 3-1 mark in the conference. The Panthers defeated Liberty and Radford last weekend at home, both in four sets.
