Series History
The Camels and Highlanders have never met on the hardwood. This marks a fourth consecutive first-time opponent for Campbell to begin the season.

Last Time Out
Campbell earned its first win with a 91-82 victory over Western Michigan in the home opener. The win was the first of John Andrzejek's coaching career. Campbell led nearly wire-to-wire, leading for more than 36 minutes of the contest.

DJ Smith led the Camels with a career-high 29 points on 6-12 from downtown. Dovydas Butka was steady as well, posting 19 points and 9 rebounds, scoring 17 of his 19 after halftime.

Player of the Week
DJ Smith averaged 21.0 ppg through the first game of the season to earn CAA Player of the Week honors. The grad transfer eclipsed 20 points twice, with 23 at Wisconsin and 29 against Western Michigan. At 6'0", he's also Campbell's third-leading rebounder with 5.0 rpg thus far.

Looking Ahead
Campbell gets five days off before returning to action next Wednesday in the Junction City Jam in Ogden, Utah. The Camels will face the hosts, Weber State, on Wednesday before playing UT Arlington on Friday.
