RALEIGH, N.C. – The NC State women's soccer team (2-2-0) welcomes High Point (3-0-1) to Dail Soccer Stadium for a 7 p.m. kickoff Thursday night. The Wolfpack will look to stay hot after its four-goal performance on Sunday against Navy.
On the Prowl:
The NC State offense is on form early in the season and has scored 10 goals on 10 assists just four matches in. The offensive displays have helped the team move up in the ACC and NCAA statistical rankings. Nationally, The Pack is ranked No. 36 in scoring offense and No. 30 in goals per game. The team has cracked into the top-25 in total assists (17th), total points (20th) and total goals (21st). In the ACC, NC State is ranked sixth in goals and fourth in assists.
Finding the Scoresheet:
In total, 10 athletes have already recorded a goal or an assist. Jackie Stengel is the team's leading point and goal scorer after netting a hat trick against La Salle and adding an assist against Navy. Rachel Cox and Tziarra King have both scored two goals, while Ricarda Walkling has scored a goal and dished out three assists.
Youth Movement:
The freshmen class has immediately contributed to the team's success this season. Six from the class have started, and six have recorded either a goal or assist, while 10 freshmen have earned playing time.
Week Three Rundown:
NC State will face two strong opponents in week three. The Pack takes on undefeated High Point Thursday. For the first time in the Panther's program history, the team is ranked in the NSCAA regional rankings. Sunday, NC State travels to UNCW who is undefeated and received 28 points in this week's NSCAA National Poll.
Scouting the Panthers:
High Point enters the match with three straight wins and is undefeated this season. Their squad has scored six goals in four matches and seven of its nine point scorers are upperclassmen. The team is anchored by 17 upperclassmen.
The Panthers went 12-5-4 last season and advanced to the Big South Tournament semifinals. The team has competed well in its conference, winning either the regular season crown or conference title five times since 2007. The team has also advanced to the NCAA Tournament three times in the last seven years with the most recent appearance coming in 2014.
Overall, NC State is a perfect 9-0-0 against the Panthers. The Pack won the last meeting 1-0(ot) at High Point in 2011.
Last Time Out:
NC State downed Navy, 4-1, on its home opener. King scored a pair of goals, and Walkling and Porter also scored. Stengel, Walkling, Keogh and Michaella van Maanen each recorded an assist.
Fan Promotions:
Thursday's match will serve as the 2016 camper reunion and Y-Guides day.
