HIGH POINT, N.C.-The Presbyterian College men's basketball team came out strong to start the second half with an 8-0 run featuring back-to-back three pointer baskets, but the Blue Hose ultimately couldn't overtake High Point, eventually losing 67-48 in their last game of the season.

The Blue Hose started the second half with back to back three point baskets by Chase Holmes, and then a layup by Walt Allen for an eight-point run. High Point (15-14, 10-8 BSC) hit two free throws, but Mutakabbir sank PC's third three pointer of the half to cut into the Panthers' lead and make the score 34-33 with 16:06 remaining in the game.

High Point responded to regain a 10-point advantage at 12:41, but a pair of free throws and then a layup on the ensuing possession by Hargrave put PC down by only six, 45-39, at the 11:54 mark.

PC battled in the next five minutes of the second half, and despite five free throws and a jumper by Troyli for seven straight points for PC, High Point lead 59-48 with just under five minutes left.

The Panthers would extend their lead in the waning minutes, eventually pulling ahead to win 67-48.
