Dolphins Down Women's Basketball, 72-57

BUIES CREEK, N.C.-Junior forward Geami Britt poured in a game-high 18 points on 7-of-11 shooting, one of three Lady Camels in double figures, but Jacksonville topped Campbell 72-57 in Atlantic Sun women's basketball action Saturday afternoon inside the John W. Pope, Jr. Convocation Center.

The Lady Camels fall to 8-8 overall and 1-6 in A-Sun play, dropping their fourth consecutive decision. Jacksonville, meanwhile, moves to 10-7 and 6-2 in league action.

Britt's 18 tallies tied a career high for the Campbellton, Fla. native, who added two rebounds, steals and blocks each off the bench. Joining Britt were senior guard Lauren Arthur and junior forward Gara Bell, who collected 10 points on the afternoon. Arthur also grabbed five rebounds while Bell pulled down eight with a block in the loss.

Sophomore forward Lauren Yesh tacked on eight points with seven rebounds, while freshman guard Amanda O'Neill recorded seven points with five boards. O'Neill added three assists with one rejection.

For the Dolphins, senior guard Regina Omoite led the way with 16 points, including a 4-of-7 performance from behind the arc, adding 11 assists in the win. DaVina Hamilton, another JU senior guard, posted 15 points with five assists and five steals, while Virginia Gregoire and Desarae Johnson registered 11 points each. Johnson, who connected on 5-of-6 shots from the floor, paced the Dolohins on the glass with seven rebounds.

Trailing by eight with seven minutes remaining in the first half, an Ashley Williamson layup followed by a pair of three pointers from Britt knotted the game at 24-all, sparking a 13-4 run that put the Lady Camels out front at the break, 29-28.

After a pair of Yesh free throws to open the second half, seven straight Dolphin tallies gave JU a 37-31 advantage. The Lady Camels then responded with a pair of threes from Arthur and O'Neill to tie the contest again with 16:02 remaining.

By the 11:31 mark, the Dolphins owned a 49-47 lead, however, a 20-2 JU surge that lasted until the 3:42 mark pitted the Lady Camels with a 20-point deficit with time winding down. Campbell would score eight of the final 11 points, but could not overcome the Dolphins lead, falling 72-57.

The Lady Camels will conclude their two-game home-stand on Monday, hosting North Florida at 5:45 p.m. in Buies Creek.
