Thanks in part to Devyn Reggi who had a phenomenal second half. The Trojans led 48-38 with 2:40 left. Campbell proceeded to go on a 13-2 run to cap off their comeback win.

Campbell’s lone senior Cayla Marshall willed her team to victory and scored a game-high 25 points for the Devils. Shuger also finished in double figures with 15 points. Sims added an important 7 points to the cause.

For Sebring, Reggi finished a great night with 20 points. Blake Thomas was also in double figures for the Trojans with 14 points.
