CHARLESTON, S.C. -  The Charleston Southern women's basketball team rounds out its two-game road trip with a trip to Buies Creek, N.C. for a battle with the Campbell Fighting Camels. 

Campbell
The Fighting Camels have exceeded expectations so far this season, who were picked to finish third in the Big South standing during the preseason. They come into this game with a 10-8 record (5-2 in conference) and are in second place in the Big South standings. Beating Campbell at home will be quite test for the Bucs, as the Fighting Camels are an impressive 7-1 at John W. Pope Convocation Center. That is the second best home record in the conference. 

Campbell is led by Head Coach Ronny Fisher, who is in his seventh season at the helm. During his time in Buies Creek, he has won Big South Coach of the Year three times and is the winningest active coach in the conference to date. In his first six seasons, the Fighting Camels have averaged 20 wins per season and were Big South tournament runner-ups in 2019, 2021 and 2022, giving them a spot in the WNIT for the first time in school history. 

This season, Fisher prides his team on aggressive play on the inside, and it has paid dividends. Coming into Saturday's match-up, the Fighting Camels are tops in the Big South in rebounding, both offensively and defensively. They also lead the conference in blocked shots, defensive field goal percentage (33.1%) and scoring defense, only giving up 50 points per game.

Charleston Southern

• The Bucs (2-16, 0-7 in conference) are still in search of their first conference win. They go into Saturday's game with a 12-game losing streak, searching for their first win since November 23^rd against Western Carolina.
• This will be the best defensive team that the Bucs have played all season during conference play. It will be quite the challenge for the Bucs, who are eighth in the Big South in scoring offense, averaging just under 52 points per game.
