Hot shooting leads Campbell to 97-48 win

BUIES CREEK – Everything seemed to be falling for Campbell (5-6) as they lit-up the scoreboard in a 97-48 win over St. Augustine's. The Camels shot a season-best 13-25 from downtown and dished out 27 total assists on the night en route to its most points of the season.
 
Campbell's 27 assists were its most since 28 against USC Upstate on Nov. 26, 2017. That helped all 12 players that saw the court score at least three points, with nine different players knocking down a three-pointer.
 
The Falcons scored the first points of the game, but Campbell quickly scored the next 18 to go up 18-3 just five minutes in. Elijah Walsh set the tone early with a trio of first-half triples. Walsh went on to score a career-high 12 on 4-5 from distance. The early offense helped Campbell to a 47-25 halftime lead.
 
CU shot 53% in the first half, but blew that away with an 80% shooting clip after halftime, including 6-9 from beyond the arc in the second. All 12 Camels scored in just the second half, with Anthony Dell'Orso scoring 11 of his team-high 13 in the second. Dell'Orso finished with a double-double of 13 points and 11 boards.
 
Laurynas Vaistaras led the squad with five assists, while Dell'Orso, Mokseckas, and Kotov all handed out four apiece.
 
Campbell was off and running all night, with a season-best 22 fast-break points, and 28 points off 17 Falcon turnovers. After posting 60 points in the paint Tuesday night, Campbell had an encore performance with 44 tonight.  
 
The Camels wrap up the homestand Monday against Morgan State. The 7 p.m. tip-off will be streamed on ESPN+. The Morgan State game concludes a stretch of three games in a week before 12 days off around Christmas.
