CHARLESTON, S.C. - With just two home games left on the season, the Charleston Southern women's basketball team will welcome the Fighting Camels of Campbell to the Buc Dome on Wednesday night, looking to snap a four-game losing streak.

This is the second time that the Charleston Southern will have faced Campbell, as the Fighting Camels took the first matchup 63-46 in Buies Creek, N.C. back on January 21^st. The Fighting Camels have dominated this series, winning 41 of the 46 games played between the two teams, and they currently have a 10-game winning streak against the Bucs dating back to 2018.

After an impressive start to conference play, the Fighting Camels have struggled in their past few games, losing three in a row. As it stands, they still sit in third place in the Big South with an 8-6 conference record (13-12 overall).

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.. 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.

Fisher is going for a few milestones on Wednesday. With a win, he would give the Fighting Camels their 785^th win in program history. For him personally, it would be career win number 230. His team has one of the most aggressive defenses in the conference. They lead the Big South in points allowed per game with 52.2 and are second in the Big South with a +5.9 margin of victory. They are holding opponents to just 34.6% shooting from the field, which is the lowest percentage in the conference.
