HIGH POINT, N.C. – For the third consecutive week, the High Point University women's basketball team is ranked in the CollegeInsider.com Women's Mid-Major Top 25, moving to No. 7 with 566 points. The poll is voted on by mid-major women's basketball coaches and was announced on Tuesday evening.

The top-10 ranking is the the highest women's mid-major ranking in Big South Conference history and the Panthers' highest-ever since remaining in the poll last week at No. 9.

High Point has continued its program-best 10-1 record, averaging 77.5 points per game while shooting 47 percent from the field and holding opponents to just 59.1 points per contest. HPU leads the Big South in field goal percentage at 47 percent, while limiting the opponent to only 37 percent.

The Panthers' impressive 11-game stretch is the best start for a Big South women's basketball squad since UNC Asheville began the season at 9-1. HPU is just the sixth Big South team to do so.

HPU's early success stems from contributions up and down the roster and has been powered by several standout performances.

Junior guard Macy Spencer has broken out as one of the nation's top shooters and currently ranks 15th in the NCAA in three-pointers made (33), while leading the Big South in triples made and points per game with 17.7. As a team, the Panthers rank 25th nationally in field goal percentage.

Graduate student Aaliyah Collins has also been a major key to High Point's fast start, averaging 17.2 points per game, leading the Big South with 50 assists, and a conference-best .545 field goal percentage.

Continuing its non-conference schedule, HPU will head to Davidson College on Wednesday, December 17, with tip-off set for 7:00 p.m.
