The Mountaineers (3-3) and Panthers (2-2-1) have met two times on the pitch since their inaugural match during the 2002 non-conference season. West Virginia holds the series advantage at 1-0-1. Last season, each team scored one goal in the final 15 minutes, playing to a 1-1 draw.
The Panthers most recently fell 2-1 at home last Sunday to Western Illinois.
Leading the High Point attack this season is senior forward Mamadee Nyepon, who has four of the team’s six goals. Nyepon leads the squad in points (8), shots (15) and shots on goal (7). Freshman midfielder Ebe Kudolo has added two assists to lead High Point in that category.
Junior goalkeeper Kody Palmer has a 1.34 goals-against average, making 13 saves in five games. Last season in Morgantown, Palmer made eight saves on 29 Mountaineer shots.
After beginning the season 3-0, the Mountaineers have dropped three-consecutive matches and will look to get back above .500.
Senior forward Andy Bevin leads the WVU attack with three goals and five assists. Junior midfielder Jamie Merriam has four goals in as many games this season, while freshman midfielder Jad Arslan has two goals.
West Virginia will stay on the road for a game at James Madison on Tuesday, Sept. 23. The match is set to begin at 7 p.m.
