Campbell currently sits at 13 Big South wins on the season and can set a new program record with a win over the Lancers and inch closer to the overall program record for league wins set in 2001 when the Camels went 16-2 in the Trans America Athletic Conference.

In the first meeting between the two teams this season, Shy Tuelle finished one point shy of her career high pouring in 20 points. After going scoreless in the opening period, Tuelle tallied 10 second-quarter points to help boost her surpassed the 20 point barrier for the second time in her career.

The Lancers, who trailed by as many as 17, inched back to within nine on a Dayna Rouse lay in to make it 64-55 with 3:08 but could not get any closer to the Camels who led for more than 25 minutes of the contest.

Campbell, who ranks third nationally in scoring defense by allowing just 51.3 points per game, is coming off a 61-58 win at Winthrop.

Kianna Speight came off the bench to score 14 points to lead four double-digit scorers for Campbell who held off Winthrop. Trailing by three on the final possession, Jah'Che Whitfield heaved a desperation three-point with four seconds left but the air ball rolled out of bounds as time expired.

Longwood, who has won just two of its last 10 games, is led by the Big South's leading scorer Kyla McMakin (18.4 ppg) and Dayna Rouse (15.2 ppg). Most recently, the Lancers fell on the road to Radford 88-76.

Campbell travels to Charleston Southern Tuesday to take on the Bucs.
