BUIES CREEK, N.C.-With only a pair of tune-ups remaining before the Atlantic Sun schedule kicks into full swing, Campbell women's basketball will head to Winston-Salem State on Monday, Dec. 22, with tipoff inside the C. E. Gaines Center scheduled for 7 p.m.

Last time out, the Lady Camels suffered a 72-54 setback at the hands of North Carolina A&T inside the John W. Pope, Jr. Convocation Center. The loss was the first inside the building for Campbell, who had been victorious in its previous four tries. The hot start is the best since 1998, when the Lady Camels matched that mark, losing in their fifth home game of the year.

NC A&T senior forward Brittanie Taylor-James and junior guard TaWuana Cook combined for 41 points against Campbell on Saturday, sending CU to 5-4 on the season. Junior center Ashley Williamson posted her third double-double of the season in the loss to lead the Lady Camels, pouring in 16 points along with 10 rebounds. Eight of Williamson's 10 boards were of the offensive variety, over half of the team's 15 offensive boards.

Junior forward Geami Britt tallied eight points for the Lady Camels with four rebounds and four assists, while Gara Bell, another junior forward, grabbed seven points and five rebounds. Bell also racked up two blocks in the loss.

Senior guard Jessica Mack, after going scoreless against UNC Asheville on Thursday, drained six points to go along with three boards, with the freshman trio of Kate Cloxton, Katelyn Bass and Amanda O'Neill combined for 10 points in the game.

Williamson has been one of the A-Sun's most consistent performers through the season thus far, averaging 10.4 points and 9.3 rebounds per game, ranking the Colonial Heights, Va. native 19^th and 3^rd in the league, respectively. The third-year Lady Camel also ranks seventh in the conference in field goal percentage at .461. Forward Geami Britt, another Campbell junior, stands just ahead of Williamson in the category at .464 percent, currently sitting at sixth.

WSSU will head into Monday night's game at 0-9 on the year after dropping a 55-43 contest to Big South member Liberty last weekend. Sophomore guard MaLisa Bumpus was the only Ram to score in double-figures, posting 13 points off the bench. The game was the first for Bumpus all season.

With an exception to Bumpus, WSSU does not have a player averaging double figures. Sophomore guard Rene Rector, does, however, record 9.9 points per game, while sophomore center Vontisha Woods is posting 8.9 and senior guard Keoshia Worthy is clocking 8.1 per contest.

The teams have one common opponent this year, with both squads dropping decisions to A-Sun foe Florida Gulf Coast. The Rams fell to FGCU 57-43 in the UNC Greensboro Marriott Classic, while Campbell was beat out by the Eagles 73-47 in Ft. Myers, Fla.

By the book, Campbell and Winston-Salem State have met once in women's basketball ever, but the contest did not actually happen. A meeting was scheduled between the pair on Jan. 22, 1983 in Winston-Salem, N.C., during Wanda Watkins' second season as head coach at CU, but WSSU was forced to forfeit. Campbell went on to finish the season 14-10 while Winston-Salem State went on to a 12-11 season.

The Lady Camels will have one game left in 2008 after their battle with the Rams, heading to Winthrop on Dec. 30 for what will be their final non-conference tilt of the season.
