High Point University closed a productive road swing on Nov. 29 with a 70 to 59 victory at the College of Charleston. The Panthers led from the opening quarters and never surrendered control, finishing the game with a seven win and one loss record at that point in the season. The result reinforced early season expectations and provided tangible momentum as the program prepares for conference play.
Anna Häger paced the offense with 25 points, and Macy Spencer added 16 points while contributing across the stat sheet in a strong overall showing. High Point deployed a balanced attack that spread scoring responsibilities among starters and reserves, a pattern reflected in the official box score which recorded quarter by quarter scoring, team shooting percentages, rebounding totals and turnovers, as well as individual leader lines. Defensively the Panthers tightened in the second half, limiting Charleston and creating the separation that decided the contest.
The win matters locally beyond the standings. High Point University sits inside Guilford County and the team serves as a regional focal point for community pride and youth sports inspiration. Victories like this can raise attendance at future home games, support campus revenue streams and sustain outreach programs that connect student athletes with neighborhood youth. Strong performances from visible role models also encourage physical activity among young people and highlight the ongoing importance of equitable investment in girls and women in sport.
From a public health perspective, community engagement with collegiate athletics supports mental health and social cohesion. Investment in local sports programs helps provide safe, structured activity for children and families, and reinforces principles of teamwork and resilience. Equity remains central, as attention and funding for women's athletics are pivotal to ensuring opportunity and access across Guilford County.
As the Panthers return from the road, the November 29 victory stands as a measure of progress on both the court and in the community. The balance of scoring and the defensive adjustments in the second half give the program a foundation to build on as the season continues.
