BUIES CREEK, N.C. – Freshman Lauren Yesh scored 12 of her 14 points in the second half to lead Campbell to a 62-47 win over USC Upstate on Monday evening in the final women's game at Carter Gym.

USC Upstate's Courtney Hawkins put on a show with a career-high 35 points to lead the Spartans. The 35 points by Hawkins were one off the school record. In scoring her 35 she also was an impressive 12-of-17 from the field (3-of-4 from three-point range) and hit eight of her nine free throws. Her 35 points represented 75 percent of her team's points on the evening.

Senior Maggie Rich, in her final game wearing the home whites for Campbell, also reached double figures with 10 points. She also tied junior Lauren Arthur for the team lead with five assists. Senior Marlena Murphy tallied nine points and 12 rebounds.

Campbell (11-16, 6-8 A-Sun) despite holding USC Upstate scoreless for nearly eight minutes in the first half only went into the break leading the Spartans 23-15 due in part to 11 Hawkins' points.

CU then came out firing in the second half outscoring the Spartans 10-5 in the first five minutes, capped off by the Mack layup to take the lead out to 12 at 31-19. Hawkins then brought the Spartans (5-23, 1-14 A-Sun) back to within eight with her own 8-6 rally.

Campbell extended the lead to 17 with a 7-0 run completed on a made jumper from sophomore Lindsay Smithberger. In the first 9:11 of the second half, the Camels hit an amazing 11-of-14 shots to take firm control of the game.

Hawkins kept making shots and rallied the team to within 12 (53-41) on the second of made free throws. The lead hovered around 15 for most of the rest of the game with Campbell able to outlast the impressive Hawkins and the Spartans 62-47.

For the game, CU shot 41 percent (23-for-56) but did shoot 57 percent in the second stanza (16-for-28). For the first time in 10 games CU were held without a made three and were 0-for-9. The Camels also shot a respectable 72 percent from the line (16-of-22). The Spartans shot 34 percent for the game but minus the night by Hawkins were only 5-of-33 (15 percent). Only three other players were able to dent the scoreboard for USC Upstate besides Hawkins.

The Camels were able to use their height advantage well and outscored the Spartans 34 to 18 in the paint. The CU bench also came up with 22 points led junior Jessica Mack's eight points. CU was dominate on the boards and held a 42-27 advantage.

CU now travels to Nashville to close out the regular season with a pair of games. The Camels will start the trip against Belmont on Saturday at 5 p.m. cst.
