Nate Campbell Posts Double-Double in LC 80-65 Win at Methodist

                FAYETTEVILLE, NC - Junior Nate Campbell (Cary, VA/Cary) posted 23 points, 10 rebounds and three assists as the Lynchburg College men's basketball team won a non-conference game at Methodist University Tuesday night 80-65.

                The game was tied at 16 all midway through the first half, but a Hornet 12-2 run put LC ahead 28-18. LC entered halftime with a 42-31 lead but the Monarchs cut the advantage to just five at 54-49 with 11:34 remaining on the game clock. A 9-0 LC surge behind six points and two rebounds from Campbell put the game out of reach.

                Campbell finished the night 9-15 from the floor and 5-5 from the charity stripe. Freshman Gary Boone (Stafford, VA/North Stafford) hit six of his seven shots to score 14 points in just 15 minutes of play. Austin Chillemi (Richmond, VA/Trinity Episcopal) scored 12 points and Robby Kaiser (East Stroudsburg, PA/Stroudsburg) had 11 points and nailed three of his four three-point attempts.

                Tanner Carnes paced Methodist (0-3) with 22 points and 10 rebounds, while Mark Jerrigan added 13 points. Lynchburg (2-2) shot 54 percent (30-56) from the floor.

                The Hornets (2-2) travel to Averett University Monday for another non-conference game at 7 p.m.
