BUIES CREEK, N.C.-After a disappointing start to the 2008 season last weekend, Campbell volleyball looks to gather its first win of the year, traveling to High Point on Tuesday.

Beginning at 7 p.m. inside the Mills Athletic Center, the contest will feature a Panther team that escaped the East Carolina Classic with a 1-2 record, while CU comes into the week with an 0-3 mark after competition at the Hilton RTP / North Carolina Central Invitational.

HPU took its season opener, 3-0, against Howard on day one of the tourney, but fell to Atlantic Sun conference member East Tennessee State, 3-2, and the hosting Pirates, 3-0, on Saturday. So far this year, six Panthers are averaging 2.0 kills per game or better, including outside hitter Audie Gonzalez (2.64), outside hitter Ashley Mellott (2.50), middle blocker Stephanie Wallin (2.27), middle blocker Lindsay Raus (2.18), middle blocker Anna Lott (2.09) and outside hitter Megan Kaminskas (2.00).

Meanwhile, Campbell, starting six underclassmen, is averaging 7.89 kills per game as a team, with sophomore outside hitter Emily Werner leading the way at 2.00 per frame. Werner also averages 2.00 digs per contest while freshman defensive specialist Lauren Garza fronts the Camels at 2.44 per set.

Last season, the Camels faltered to High Point, 3-0, in Carter Gym, as the now departed Jamie Kaufman torched CU for 13 kills, three aces and four digs. Audie Gonzalez, now a junior on the Panther team, pitched in 12 kills of her own, with eight digs and two aces tacked on. Setter Kristina Taylor pitched in a double-double for HPU, recording 31 assists and 15 digs with two aces and a pair of blocks.

Despite 10.0 team blocks, the Fighting Camels could not overcome 32 team errors, or their .082 hitting percentage as a unit, dropping the match 30-24, 30-9, 30-27.

After facing the Panthers, CU will head to Elon for its second and final tournament of the season, the Elon Volleyball Classic. The tourney, opening on Friday, Sept. 5, will feature four teams, including UNC Wilmington and North Carolina A&T in addition to the Camels and the Phoenix.
