Bold On The Glass
Bolden has been a force on the glass, snagging at least 10 rebounds in six of the last nine games she has played in, including a career-high 14 against William Peace.

The Price Is Right
Price has led the Camels in scoring in 13-of-21 games this season. She has tallied double-digit scoring outputs in all but four contests this year. Price averages 15.3 points per game, tied for first in the Big South.

Follow Us, We'll Lead The Way
Campbell led for 182:59 in the five games between Nov. 17 and Nov. 30. The Camels trailed for only 6:44 in that span. CU trailed in that category for the second time all season against WCU, only leading for 14:22, while trailing for 22:20. Campbell led for more than 39 minutes (39:17) against Columbia International and more than 36 minutes (36:24) at NC Central. They led for more than 37 minutes at Winthrop on Jan. 6 and more than 38 minutes versus Charleston Southern on Jan. 9.

Price reached the 1,000-point mark at UNCG on Nov. 25. She scored a then career-high 28 points on 11-of-17 shooting to reach the milestone. Price tallied 416 points last season, 45 percent of her three-year career total.

Can You Hear Me Now?
During the 2017 Education Day game versus Columbia International, the rambunctious crowd surpassed 100 decibels inside Gore Arena. That level of noise is similar to that of a jackhammer or a power lawn mower.
