BUIES CREEK, N.C.-Junior center Ashley Williamson posted a team-high 14 points, leading Campbell over USC Upstate, 62-58, in Atlantic Sun women's basketball action Saturday afternoon inside the John W. Pope, Jr. Convocation Center.

The Lady Camels improve to 11-16 on the season with a 4-14 league record, while USC Upstate falls to 11-15 with a 6-11 A-Sun mark.

Williamson also knocked down 6-of-8 from the charity stripe, while pulling down five rebounds in the win. Joining Williamson in double figures was freshman guard Amanda O'Neill and junior forward Geami Britt, who added 11 and 10 points respectively. O'Neill posted six rebounds and three assists on the afternoon, with Britt chipping in two rebounds and a pair of assists.

Junior guard Lindsay Smithberger came off the bench with an eight-point flurry in nine minutes on the floor, including a 2-of-3 clip from three. Sophomore forward Lauren Yesh and junior forward Gara Bell added five points in the win.

Junior guard Courtney Hawkins led the way for the Spartans, notching a game-high 17 points on 5-of-9 shooting, with a 7-of-8 performance from the free throw line, adding three assists and three steals. Hawkins also committed eight of the Spartans 25 turnovers.

Junior guard Kolesia Richardson registered 15 points in the loss, while freshman guard Lesley Daniel added nine tallies. Chelsea McMillan and Chelsey Peterson posted five points apiece for the Spartans.

After the Spartans opened the contest on a 7-2 advantage, the Lady Camels reeled off a 19-4 run to take a 21-11 lead, capped off by a Williamson jumper in the lane. A Cherale Powell basket then sparked a 10-1 USC Upstate spurt, cutting the game to one. Four points from Williamson and a pair from O'Neill helped Campbell to a 28-25 halftime lead.

Trading baskets for the majority of the second half, Campbell grabbed its largest lead of the stanza at the 9:38 mark, as a Gara Bell lay-in plus one gave the Lady Camels a five point advantage.

After a 10-5 Spartan run, however, USC Upstate pulled the game even, again, as Courtney Hawkins completed the conventional three-point play.

The Spartans would force the sixth tie of the contest at the 2:51 mark on a Peterson lay-in, a 55-all knot, but seven-straight Lady Camel points sealed the 62-58 home win.

Campbell will close out the 2008-09 regular season next weekend, hosting Florida Gulf Coast on Thursday before entertaining Stetson in the year's finale.
