The Panthers led by eight points with nine minutes remaining before being outscored 24-10 down the stretch. The loss was the third straight for HPU (13-10, 6-4 Big South), which lost 67-60 at Coastal Carolina on Saturday.
“They made big shots and we missed quite a few easy ones in the last two or three minutes,” coach Tooey Loy said. “This was a game in which we let them hang around and get back into it, and when you do that anything can happen in the last two minutes. I am disappointed with how things went on this road trip, but we will get back in the gym this week and work and get things going again.”
CSU (13-10, 5-5) got 25 points from Katie Tull. For the Panthers, junior Mackenzie Maier blocked seven shots to tie her own school record (Division-I era) for the fourth time. Jurica Hargraves added 13 points and Shamia Brown had 12.
High Point returns to action Saturday at 2 p.m. in the Millis Center against league-leader Gardner-Webb.
