By Piper Rampage
BUIES CREEK, N.C. — Campbell built a 14-point halftime lead and maintained its advantage through the second half to defeat USC Upstate 93-77 at the John W. Pope Jr. Convocation Center. The victory improved the Camels to 1-3, while USC Upstate dropped to 1-4.
Lance Waddles led Campbell with 30 points, five rebounds and three assists. Nordin Kapic added 17 points, five rebounds and six assists, while Rashawn Inglemon contributed 14 points, five assists and four steals.
Jalyn Patterson paced USC Upstate with 25 points. Ries Naugle added 16 points and three assists for the Spartans.
Campbell established control in the opening half, scoring 44 points while limiting USC Upstate to 30. The 44-30 halftime margin gave the Camels a 14-point cushion, built through their fast start.
USC Upstate scored 47 points after halftime, improving on its first-half total, but Campbell also increased its scoring output. The Camels added 49 points in the second half, finishing with 93 for the game and preserving the advantage they had created before the break.
Waddles’ 30 points led all listed scorers and accounted for a major part of Campbell’s offensive production. Kapic supported the effort with 17 points and six assists, while Inglemon added 14 points and four steals.
Patterson’s 25 points led the way for USC Upstate, with Naugle contributing 16. The Spartans’ 47-point second half brought their total to 77, but they could not erase the deficit established in the opening period.
The first-half margin remained central to the outcome. Campbell entered halftime ahead by 14 and then outscored USC Upstate by two points over the final 20 minutes. The Camels’ 49-47 second-half edge extended the lead rather than allowing the Spartans to close the gap.
Campbell completed the 93-77 win at home, earning its first victory of the season and moving to 1-3. USC Upstate left Buies Creek with a 1-4 record after the 16-point defeat.
