Campbell Downs Furman, 82-72

Paladins Face Host Georgia State At Noon Wednesday

ATLANTA, GA. -- Olivia Tucker scored 17 points and Campbell used hot shooting to race past Furman, 82-72, in a Tuesday women's basketball game at Georgia State's Thanksgiving Tournament played at the GSU Convocation Center.

Furman (4-3) will take on host Georgia State (4-2) in a Wednesday ESPN+ noon matchup.

Tucker was joined in double figures by teammates Courtney Dalhquist (13 points), Ciara Alexander (12 points), and Gianni Boone (11 points), as the Camels blistered Furman's defense, shooting 57.9 percent from the field (33x57), including 7-of-20 (35.0 percent) from 3-point range.  

Campbell entered the contest shooting 37.8 percent from the field and just 26.0 percent from 3-point range through their first five games.

Furman's attack featured five double figure scorers, led by Tate Walters with 14 points, but the story of the game proved to be Campbell's ability to break down the Paladins' defense for high percentage shots, evidenced by a 48-32 scoring differential in the paint, and converting turnovers into points, as the Camels cashed in 20 Furman turnovers for a 23-9 scoring edge.

Campbell led almost wire-to-wire, using an 8-0 first quarter burst, stoked by a pair of Dalhquist 3-pointers, to grab a 19-10 lead.

The Camels closed out a strong first half when Dahlquist grabbed an offensive rebound off a missed free throw with nine seconds to go and fed Halleigh Dill for a 3-pointer with six seconds on the clock to send Campbell into the locker room with a 41-26 lead.

Furman opened the second half with an 8-2 run to cut the advantage to 43-34, but the Camels put down the rally and took total control with a 10-0 spurt to go up 53-34 on a Tucker 3-point play with four minutes remaining in the period.

The Paladins shot 46.4 percent from the field (26x56) but misfired on their first 13 shots from beyond the arc.

Joining Walters in double figures for Furman were Kate Johnson with 13 points, Sydney Ryan with 12, Raina McGowens with 11, and Niveya Henley with 10 points.

Ryan's 12 rebounds, one shy of her career high, gave her a double-double.
