Camels glide past Eagles 72-48

BUIES CREEK, N.C. – Three double-digit scorers paced Campbell to a 72-48 victory over Winthrop on Saturday afternoon inside Winthrop Coliseum.
 
Summer Price led all scorers with 15 points, while Kyra Davis added a season-high 13 and Caroline Bowns contributed 12. MaKala Rouse posted a career-high 12 assists along with zero turnovers for the Camels (8-5, 1-1).
 
Winthrop (1-12, 0-2) had a pair of double-digit scorers, led by Courtney Hagaman's 15 points. Anika Riley also scored in double figures, tallying 10 points on 4-of-13 shooting.
 
Back-to-back 3-pointers from Price and Bowns sprung a 12-0 run to give CU a 16-point second half lead. The Campbell defense clamped down and kept the double-digit lead intact for the remainder of the game, as Winthrop would only get as close as 13 midway through the third quarter.
 
Davis and Price each hit a 3-pointer midway through the fourth quarter on an 11-3 stretch to widen the Campbell lead to 21, 62-41. CU outscored Winthrop 43-23 in the second half to claim the 24-point victory.
 
Rouse's 12 assists is the first double-digit assist performance since RaeChaun Edwards had 10 assists on Feb. 16, 2016. It is the most assists since Feb. 23, 2014, when Kiera Gaines tallied 12. Each of the three performances were against Winthrop.  
 
Price's 15 points is her 11th double-digit output of the season and Bowns' 12 points is her first double-digit performance since Nov. 22 at College of Charleston.
 
A trio of 3-pointers from Bowns and Price lifted Campbell to an early nine-point lead, 11-2, 2:28 into the contest. Bowns led all scorers in the first half with nine points.
 
The Eagles fought back, using a 15-6 run to even the game at 17-17 just 26 seconds into the second quarter. The score was tied once more in the half, 25-25, but Campbell scored a pair of late baskets to take a four-point lead into the half, 29-25. 
 
The Camels scored 15 points off of nine Eagles turnovers and held a 23-10 advantage off the bench. CU took care of the ball on Saturday, dishing out 20 assists with a season-low seven turnovers.
 
Campbell knocked down 36.7 percent (11-of-30) from downtown, the highest percentage since Nov. 25 at UNCG. It was the first game since Nov. 17 that Campbell has made 10 or more from downtown.  
 
Campbell returns home on Tuesday at 7 p.m. against Charleston Southern.
