Site: High Point, NC (Vert Stadium)
Score: High Point 0, Campbell 0 (110')
Records: High Point 6-6-3 (4-0-3), Campbell 12-3-3 (7-0-1)
HIGH POINT, NC – The High Point University men's soccer team played to a 0-0 draw with Campbell. It was the first draw in Big South play for the Camels and just the third time they have been shut out all year. HPU joins Elon and UNC as the three teams who have shut out CU in the fall of 2021.
Both High Point and Campbell remain as the only unbeaten Big South teams this season. Holden Trent and the Panther defense earned their seventh clean sheet of the season. With the draw, the Panthers clinch the #2 seed in the Big South Tournament securing a spot in the semifinals and home-field advantage for the Big South Semifinals.
Zach Haines: We are very pleased with the performance, keeping a clean sheet against Campbell is always a great achievement. They are a team that does really well in the attack and has scored a lot of goals this season. They have only been held scoreless now three times this season and to do it without Finn Mcrobb, MD Myers, Ashton Perkins, and a number of other guys was impressive. We knew it was going to be a challenge tonight fortunately we had a lot of guys step up and defended extremely well. But we also had some great chances to win the game. All in all, a really good performance it's something we can take into our game with Asheville and then the Big South Conference Tournament.
