Beyond the new look, which Shroff called “corporate,” Rogers’ play has offered plenty to talk about. He’s registered the second most points on High Point’s roster behind star attackman Asher Nolting, and he made the USILA Team of the Week for Feb. 17. Through two games, he’s shot 63.6 percent and has scored as many goals per game (3.50) as UNC’s Chris Gray.
“We had high expectations of what we were going to see out of him, but honestly he even exceeded our expectations,” Robert Morris head coach Andrew McMinn said of Rogers. “He’s extremely athletic and has all the tools. When you look at his size, athleticism, stick work and finishing ability, it’s really like a prototypical ACC-type midfielder.
