BUIES CREEK, North Carolina – Graduate student guard Sierra DaCosta scored a team-high 16 points, but it was not enough as UNCW was unable to overcome a fast start by Campbell in a 53-42 non-conference women's basketball loss at Gore Arena on Tuesday evening.
 
The loss dropped the Seahawks' record to 1-4, while Campbell improved to 3-2 on the season.
 
Redshirt senior forward Taya Bolden led Campbell to the victory with her second double-double of the season, scoring a game-high 17 points with 10 rebounds. Junior guard Faith Price came off the bench to score nine points after knocking down 3-of-4 three-pointers.
 
DaCosta, who reached double figures for the fourth time in five games, shot 5-for-14 from the field and converted all four of her free throws. She also grabbed four rebounds in 38 minutes.
 
Sophomore guard Evan Miller came off the bench to grab a career-high eight rebounds for UNCW, which dropped its fourth straight game.
 
Key Moment: After conceding the opening basket, Campbell scored 19 of the next 24 points to take a 19-7 lead the Camels did not relinquish. Bolden and Price each tallied six points to anchor the Fighting Camels during the spurt.
