CHARLESTON, S.C. – Riding momentum from one of the most efficient offensive performances in program history, the Charleston Southern women's basketball team continues Big South Conference play this week with a home matchup against league-leading High Point before heading back on the road to face USC Upstate.
 
The Buccaneers are coming off a 77-73 road victory at Presbyterian, where CSU shot 60.0 percent from the field, tying the highest single-game field goal percentage in program history, to improve to 4-3 in conference action. Charleston Southern will look to carry that offensive rhythm into Wednesday night's home contest before closing the week in Spartanburg on Saturday.
