SERIES HISTORY VS. HIGH POINT
Tuesday night is the 32^nd meeting all-time between the Spartans and Panthers, UNCG leading the overall series 18-11-2.

SCOUTING THE PANTHERS
Head Coach Zach Haines and High Point welcome UNCG on Tuesday currently in the midst of the longest winning streak in the country, having won eight straight as one of the 10 squads in Division I to have reached double-digit victories this season. The Panthers' offense is among the best in the country, ranking ninth in scoring offense (2.43), seventh in total goals (34), fifth in total points (110) and 11^th in goal differential (+18). 
 
The driving force behind High Point's attack is creativity – the Panthers stand fourth nationally in total assists (42), averaging three of them per game for the sixth-best mark in Division I. Fifteen Players have at least one assist, 10 of them with multiple for the Panthers; Noah Behrmann ranks second in the country with nine while each of Nick Sarantakos, Alfred Baafi, and Anthony Ramirez have five. 
 
Daniel Lugo (12G, 3A) leads the line as one of the best players in the nation, ranking second in goals and third in total points among Division I. He's joined offensively by Adagani Prosper (7G, 2A) Sarantakos (4G, 5A) and Baafi (3G, 5A) in double-digit points for the Panthers. Josh Caron has been the Panthers' primary netminder, posting 38 stops with a save percentage of 0.717 while allowing 1.20 goals per game. 
 
LAST TIME OUT FOR UNCG
UNCG returned to the win column on Oct. 17 with a 4-0 takedown of VMI in Virginia, powered by the midfield trio of Keaviano Francis, Malo Jungling, and Caleb Borneo. Francis bagged the opening two goals, assisted by Lasse Dahl on the first and Borneo on the second, before turning provider with Filipe Matos to assist Jungling's goal for 3-0 just past the hour mark. Borneo capped off the win from the penalty spot in the 72^nd minute. 
 
Seth Wilson and the Spartan defense bounced back well, the veteran goalkeeper stopping four shots on the way to a fourth shutout this season. UNCG fielded 21 players in the win, 20 of them playing double-digit minutes against the Keydets. 
 
TEAM LEADERS FOR THE SPARTANS
 
Francis' first multi-goal game of the season elevated him back into first on the team in tallies (six) and points (14), with five points coming against the Keydets. Borneo's goal and assist on Saturday moved him to five and two for the year, respectively, now with 12 points. Both are putting together career-high point totals this season. 
 
Matos (2G, 3A) and Jungling (3G, 1A) rank tied for third with seven points each, while Dahl (1G, 4A), and Torre (2G, 2A) are on six for the year. Dahl's assist against the Keydets, his fourth of the season, elevated him past Matos and Trym Linberg (three) for the assist lead. 
 
UNCG FIRSTS ON THE SEASON
