LEXINGTON, VA. – Campbell remained unbeaten in Southern Conference contests, topping VMI 25-9 on the road Sunday at Cormack Hall.

The Camels (13-8, 4-0 SoCon) won its eighth straight dual over VMI (7-5, 1-3 SoCon), claiming its third conference victory of the weekend. Campbell also defeated Presbyterian 36-9 and Davidson 43-3 yesterday in its 2022-23 home finale.

Tied at 3-3 after a pair of overtime decisions to open the match, Campbell built a commanding 25-3 lead with seven consecutive wins, highlighted by No. 29 Levi Hopkins' 10-2 major decision at 197 pounds.

Camels took two of the match's three overtime bouts, including Dom Baker's 3-1 win over Braxton Lewis at 165 to start the day, and Chris Rivera's 4-2 win over Ryan Vigil at 149.

With the dual in hand, Campbell forfeited at 157, taking the 25-9 road victory.
