Women's Hoops Heads to Lipscomb Saturday

NASHVILLE, TENN.-After a come from behind win Thursday at Belmont, Campbell will take on Lipscomb Saturday at 1 p.m. CST in another Atlantic Sun women's basketball matchup inside Allen Arena.

Down by as many as 13 in the second half, the Lady Camels chipped away at the Bruin lead over a nine minute span and knotted the game at 54 at the 4:51 mark. Holding a one point lead with under a minute left, Tonisha Baker drove in and connected on a runner. From there, Campbell registered a 9-of-10 clip from the free throw line to hang on to the win.

Sophomore guard Kate Cloxton paced Campbell in the win, scoring 20 of her career-high 22 points in the second half, draining 8-of-11 shots, including 4-of-5 from distance. Cloxton also posted four rebounds and four assists without a turnover. The Lady Camels committed a season-low 12 turnovers at Belmont.

Senior forward
Geami Britt added 17 points, one short of a season-high, with four assists and a pair of rebounds. Freshman forward Jazmine Cooper also registered a season-high with 11 points, adding six rebounds and a pair of steals. Junior guard Courtney Cannon chipped in nine points, while freshman guard Tonisha Baker collected six points. Both Cannon and Baker grabbed two rebounds apiece.

With that win, the Lady Camels improved to 10-7 overall and 5-3 in A-Sun play, already matching their conference win total from last season. Winless on the road in league games a year ago, the Lady Camels are 3-2 in A-Sun contests away from Buies Creek.

The Bisons are 4-15 on the year with a 2-7 A-Sun mark after a 76-65 loss to East Tennessee State on Thursday in Nashville. Lipscomb tied the game at 50 with 9:32 remaining, but ETSU connected on nine straight points, and came away with the 11-point win.

Junior guard Jenna Barsokas, who tallied eight points and seven rebounds against ETSU, leads Lipscomb in scoring at 12.0 points per game this season, while sophomore guard Anna Bowers follows with 7.1 per contest. Sophomore wing Chelsea Burroughs paced Lipscomb against the Buccaneers with 19 points. The Lebanon, Tenn. native averages 6.3 points per game.

Lipscomb leads the all-time series with Campbell, 7-5, with the Bisons taking three of the last four games. The teams split last season, with the home school winning each time. Forward Lauren Yesh, now a junior, posted 10 points in each meeting last season for Campbell, while Geami Britt tallied a career-high 24 points in the Lady Camels' 70-56 win in Buies Creek.

Campbell will be back on the road in its next game, heading to ETSU on Wednesday, Jan. 27.
