NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Despite a career-high 17 points from junior Jessica Mack, Campbell was defeated 69-60 in overtime by Lipscomb on Saturday evening at Allen Arena. The Camels were outscored 11-2 in the extra session.

Mack besides 17 points on 7-of-16 shooting from the field and 3-for-4 work from the charity stripe, also pulled down a team-high 10 rebounds and handed out three assists. Sophomore Lindsay Smithberger hit her second consecutive strong performance off the bench with nine points. Gara Bell also tallied eight points in a reserve role for the Camels.

The Camels (12-17, 7-9 A-Sun) came out on a dry spell to start the overtime session and were outscored 7-0 in the first three minutes of the extra session. After a made Gara Bell layup, the Bisons were able to hit their final four attempts from the foul line to defeat Campbell 69-60.

The Bisons (9-21, 7-9 A-Sun) would answer with a Jilian Partin jumper and a pair of Kaleigh Gossman free throws to cut the deficit to one. After another defensive stop, Partin was fouled and sank both her free throws to give the Bisons a 57-56 lead with only a 1:33 left in the game.

Following a few more defensive stops, Jenna Bartsokas hit one of her two foul shots to give LU a two-point advantage at 58-56 with :25 seconds remaining.

CU's Lindsay Smithberger followed with a dramatic made jumper to tie the score at 58 with just under :10 seconds left in the game (09.7). The shot was originally ruled a three but after a review by the officials it was changed to a two.

Campbell went into the break with a 27-26 lead as Smithberger banked in three from half court as time expired. Mack led the team with eight points and four rebounds in the first stanza.

For the game, the Bisons had four players reached double figures led by 16 points and 13 rebounds from Jilian Partin. Also for LU, Gossman had 14 points, Bartsokas totaled 13 and Katie Rollins put in 10.

On the evening CU shot 31 percent (25-for-80), including 19 percent from beyond the arc (4-of-22). The Camels did hit six of their 10 attempts from the line but the Bisons went to the line 31 times and hit 23 (74 percent). LU shot 43 percent for the game and hit 75 percent (3-for-4) of their shots in the extra session.
