BUIES CREEK, N.C. – Jonathan Rodriguez scored 23 points and Campbell won a see-saw battle with visiting Liberty 73-70 Saturday night at Carter Gym.

A sophomore forward, Rodriguez added 12 rebounds for his seventh double-double in the last eight games and canned 7-of-8 from the line. Kyle Vejraska scored 11 of his 15 points in the second half, while Reggie Bishop tallied eight of his 10 in the final stanza for the Camels (3-6), who ended a three-game losing streak.

Julius Perkins came off the bench to add eight points – all in the second half – plus a season-best eight assists. Jake Wohlfeil chipped in eight and hit a pair of free throws with 4.1 seconds left to provide the final margin.

Alex McLean and B.J. Jenkins led Liberty (5-5) with 20 points each, while Anthony Smith added 12. McLean grabbed 11 rebounds while shooting 6-of-11 from the field and 8-of-9 from the line for the Flames, who saw their three-game win streak come to a close. TeeJay Bannister contributed eight points and eight assists.

The lead changed hands eight times in the second period and Vejraska's free throws with 6:39 to go put the Camels in front for good (58-56). The Flames led 52-46 on McLean's foul shots with 10:27 remaining, but Campbell answered with a 19-7 flurry, capped by Bishop's three from the left corner with 3:41 to play that gave CU a 65-59 advantage.

Liberty, however, chipped away at the gap and Jenkins' trey from the right wing cut the margin to 71-70 with 29 seconds to play. The Camels had the ball with the shot clock off, but Wohlfeil took his eye off a pass and dropped the ball out of bounds.

Virginia transfer TeeJay Bannister drove into the paint, but his shot was off mark and McLean rebounded. However, the senior forward was whistled for traveling with five seconds to play. Wohlfeil then hit both ends of a two-shot foul opportunity. On the ensuing possession, Perkins stepped in front of a pass from Smith and dribbled out the clock.

The Camels shot 44.6 percent (25-56) for the game and made a season-best 82.6 percent (19-23) from the free throw stripe. Liberty hit 47.8 percent (22-46) of its shots, including 55 percent (11-20) in the second period. LU made 8-of-21 (.381) from 3-point range.

Campbell held a 36-24 edge on the glass and converted that into an 18-9 advantage in second chance points. Rodriguez (5) and Vejraska (4) combined for nine offensive rebounds.

Over the past three games, Rodriguez is averaging 28.0 points and 13.3 rebounds while shooting 64 percent (34-53) from the floor. He scored a career-high 34 points and grabbed 15 boards in Thursday's 79-76 loss at UNC Asheville.

Campbell jumped to a 31-19 lead with 4:45 left in the opening period when Rodriguez scored underneath. However, CU made just one field goal in its last six attempts and committed four turnovers in the same span as the Flames closed the period on a 15-3 run.

Rodriguez had 14 first-half points on 6-of-11 shooting. McLean (12) and Jenkins (10) also hit double digits in the first period for Liberty.

Campbell hosts Norfolk State Tuesday at 7:00 p.m. Liberty travels to Virginia Tech Wednesday for a 7:00 p.m. tap.
