RADFORD, VA. – Radford opened the game on a 25-4 run and went on to defeat Campbell 72-53 Thursday night at the Dedmon Center.
 
Radford (16-12, 9-6) ended a three-game losing streak and took over possession of third place in the Big South standings with three games remaining in the regular season.  Campbell (14-13, 8-7) saw its two-game win streak halted and dropped into a fourth place tie with Liberty (17-11, 8-7), which knocked off league-leader UNC Asheville 82-69 in OT Thursday night.
 
Carlik Jones led Radford 17 points, while Travis Fields, Jr. (13) and Devonnte Holland (12) came off the bench to hit double figures. Caleb Tanner added 9 points for Radford, which shot 57 percent in the second half (12-21) and finished the game with a 39-24 edge on the boards.
 
Chris Clemons led Campbell with 20 points and extended his Division I-leading double figure scoring streak to 75 games. Cory Gensler added nine for the Camels, who shot just 37 percent from the floor and made 5-of-20 threes.
 
Radford hit 10 of its first 14 shots and led 25-4 after Tanner knocked down a three with 11:49 to play in the opening half.  However, the Highlanders missed 10-straight shot and the Camels answered with a 15-2 burst.
 
Clemons' free throws with 4:40 to play in the period cut the gap to 27-19, but Andrew Eudy's 3-point play accounted for the lone Camel points after the final media time out and the Highlanders led 37-22 at halftime.
 
Radford shot 44 percent (14-32) from the field in the opening half, but seven offensive rebounds led to eight second-chance points. Holland came off the Radford bench to score 10 first-half points in only seven minutes, while Fields added nine.

Clemons led Campbell with nine first-half points, but the Camels had move turnovers (9) than made field goals (8-22) in the opening period.
