North Carolina Central 67, Campbell 64

DURHAM, N.C. -- 
Trailing by eight points early in the fourth quarter, North Carolina Central went on a 15-0 run to electrify a big group of kids attending the game on Education Day and rally the Eagles to their first win of the season with a 67-64 victory over visiting Campbell Tuesday.
 
The Camels made their 10th 3-pointer of the contest at the 9:27 mark of the fourth quarter to secure their largest lead of the game, 54-46. It would be Campbell's final made trey and the visitors last converted basket for the next six and a half minutes.
 
NCCU's ensuing comeback started with a pair of layups by Paulina Afriyie sandwiched around a jumper by Jasmine Pollock, who then hit a 3-pointer at the 7:14 mark to put the Eagles ahead for good at 55-54.
 
Dasmine Kasey dished out three assists on those four made shots to start the decisive run. Kasey finished with six assists.
 
Kieche White, who scored nine of her game-high 21 points in the fourth quarter, added a 3-point play to keep the run going and Afriyie's third layup during NCCU's 15 unanswered-point stretch capped the run with under three minutes left in the contest.

BLACKSBURG, Va. -- 
Maryland Eastern Shore faced a Virginia Tech front line on Tuesday night that boasted a 6-foot-5 center in Elizabeth Kitley and a roster with seven player 6-foot or bigger.

It was not a recipe for success for a relatively small Hawks team with two forwards out of the lineup due to injury. The Shore were outscored in the paint 38-6, outrebounded 52-27 and dropped the contest 86-43.
