Gabriel Dias and
Aditya Gokhale are two of only four players who remain undefeated in Big South Conference competition (minimum three decisions), each owning league-best 4-0 records in conference play.
-With four matches played, Winthrop and Campbell have currently played the most conference matches in the Big South. Winthrop's 2-2 record puts it in sixth place, while Campbell's 3-1 record is good for third. Gardner-Webb is second at 1-0, but will have played two additional league matches prior to Sunday's contest in Rock Hill, taking on Presbyterian on Wednesday and Radford on Friday.

THE MATCH-UPS
-Radford enters Wednesday's match off a 4-3 win over Davidson. In conference play the Highlanders own wins over Longwood and Hampton, falling 6-1 on the road to Asheville.
-Campbell's lone conference loss was a 5-2 setback at Gardner-Webb on Mar. 15, adding wins against USC Upstate, Presbyterian and Longwood to their ledger so far this season. The Camels also boast a 6-1 nonconference win over Coastal Carolina and will host UC Riverside on Tue., Mar. 26 prior to Friday's match with Winthrop.
-Gardner-Webb will face a back-loaded conference slate, having played just one league match so far, its 5-2 win over Campbell. The Bulldogs opened the season with five-straight losses, including to No. 1 Wake Forest and on the road at Coastal Carolina, but bounced back to post six-consecutive victories over the past month.
