BUIES CREEK, NC – Despite a season-high 17 kills from Lailah Green, Campbell fell in four sets to Charleston Southern Friday afternoon in Gore Arena. Campbell has now split back-to-back weekends and fall to 6-2 at the halfway point of the schedule.
 
After a quiet night Thursday, the Buccaneers were much more efficient on offense during the rematch, hitting .262 on the day.

Chloe Cook was big down the stretch, recording two kills and an ace in the final four Camel points to win it.
 
The Buccaneers took an extremely close third set where neither team held more than a three-point lead. The Camels largest lead was just two at 13-11. They also led at 20-19 after a Kate Menz kill. But CSU's offense got hot and notched six kills in their final seven points to take the set 25-22.
 
Campbell dropped the fourth set 25-23. The Camels nearly forced a few extra points thanks to kills from Green and Ananda Patterson, pushing it to 24-23, but couldn't quite draw even and CSU closed it out in four sets.
