Haines on Last Time
"I loved our intensity and work rate, particularly in the first half. I'm pleased for all of the guys. They brought such a good mentality to this game. A clean sheet and some of our attacking players scoring and setting up quality goals was a byproduct of our approach. We want to keep the momentum going into Wednesday at home vs Upstate."
Trent Is Defensive Player of the Week
Recorded four saves in a shutout against Gardner-Webb in the win. GWU only shot five times four of them on goal with Trent making all four saves. This is High Point's second Big South weekly honor of the season and the first Big South Defensive Player of the Week honor for the Purple & White this season as well.
