ASU's lady strikers return to play after a nine day respite to take on the Lady Panthers of HPU in High Point at 7 PM tonite. The Apps (3-2-0) have not played since shutting out UNC-A by a 2- nil count on Thursday, September 5th. They'll need to get the rust off early against a High Point side that is 0-5-0 and hopeful of getting its first win on the season in front of the home crowd. The Panthers last played on Friday night--suffering a 4 - 1 road loss to the Navy Midshipmen in Annapolis.

ASU leads the short series between the two programs 2-1-0. but the one loss to the Panthers came last season at Ted Mackorell Field. It was an own-goal that did the Apps in. They will look to take advantage of a veteran HPU side off to a rough start. Through 5 matches, the Panthers have been out-scored 23 to 3.

ASU grabs an early 1 - nil lead on a goal from soph F Samantha Childress (Kernersville, E. Forsyth); and an assist from junior defender Nicole Steyl (Charlotte, Ardrey Kell) in the 14th minute.

Second half now underway; score still 1 - nil ASU in the 54th minute. Apps have amped-up their attack on the HPU goal.

HPU knots the score at 1 - 1 on a penalty kick in the 84th minute. Under three minutes remain in regulation.

OT...HPU on the attack...no goals allowed by either side. OT2 to begin...

HPU scores in 109th minute to take a 2 - 1 win in double OT. Big ouch to lose to a previously winless team, previously outscored 23-3.

Thanks for the updates cp. I've got my hands full with some other things right now so I appreciate you letting us know. That STINGS a bunch. Seems like we're playing to the level of our competition this year in a lot of things.
