Sara Moore Becomes 15th Lady Camel to Reach 1,000 Points

BUIES CREEK, N.C. – Sara Moore scored 18 points at UNC Wilmington on Dec. 19 to become the 15^th player in Campbell University women's basketball history to score 1,000 points in a career.
The senior guard from Fincastle, Va., was 5-of-10 from the field and 5-of-6 from the charity stripe to lead the Lady Camels to a 63-59 win over the Seahawks. She also connected on three triples to become the school's career record holder in most three-pointers made (123).
"It was obvious from the get-go that Sara was there to show our team that she was ready to score when they needed her to," said head coach Wanda Watkins. "It's really important for the seniors to come out and exhibit that type of leadership."
Moore's point total now stands at 1,002 points in 90 outings. Her sister Ashley, who played for the Lady Camels from 1994-98, also scored 1,000 points in her career. They become the first set of sisters in the school's history to accomplish the feat.
A three-time All-TAAC selection, Moore is the fourth leading scorer (9.4 ppg) and rebounder (4.6 rpg) for Campbell this season. She is also a three-time all-academic honoree and garnered GTE Academic All-District 3 status last season.
She is also approaching two additional achievements. She needs 86 rebounds for 500 and 43 three-point field goal attempts to surpass the career record (388).
Moore is the second player for Campbell to reach this milestone this season. Junior center April Cromartie of Garland, N.C., scored 15 points against Mercer earlier in the year for her 1,000^th point. She now has 1,047 points in 67 games.
"I couldn't be more proud of Sara and April and what they've been able to accomplish during their careers. I'm just so lucky to have had the opportunity to coach these girls," said Watkins.
Of the 15 players currently listed with 1,000 or more points in Campbell's record book, Connie Hall (1974-78, 1233 pts.) is the only one who didn't play for Coach Watkins.
The Lady Camels return to action on Friday against Norfolk State at 7:00 pm. Antionette Matthews Flowers, a former All-American for the Lady Camels, is an assistant coach with the Spartans.
