CAMPBELLSVILLE, KY - With their coach suffering from an upper respiratory infection, the Lady Tigers needed to make sure they didn't put Ginger Colvin in a position to lose any more of her voice than she already had.

Campbellsville (5-1, 1-0) played a sloppy first half, but unloaded its bench in the second 20 minutes and stifled the Lady Golden Bears of West Va. Tech, 96-57.

What did Colvin whisper to her Assistant Coach Miranda Denney to tell their team at the half?

"We just didn't feel like our intensity was what it needed to be on the defensive end," said Denney, standing in for Colvin. "When we don't deny and get in the passing lanes our offense doesn't have any fuel."

CU forced 11 second half turnovers (23 for the game) and scored 56 points in the paint in rolling up its largest margin of 89-46.

Courtney Clifton led the Lady Tigers with 26 points and was joined in double figures by Megan Isaacs and Chelsea Craig (12 each) and Keisha Compton and Lindey Young (10 each). Campbellsville's bench accounted for 43 points.

"It's a good night for Lady Tiger basketball when we get points in the paint," Denney.

Additionally CU had 27 assists, nine by Katie Allen and six by Mackenzie Lee.

"When you have Katie and Mac on the floor at the same time it gives two point guards. They distributed the ball tonight."

Campbellsville went on a 29-5 run to start the second half and took the starch out of and undermanned Tech squad.

Tech (3-5), depleted by injury, did a good job of keeping pace, but still trailed at the intermission 38-29. WVT pulled to within 25-23 with five minutes to go in the first 20 minutes, but a bucket by Chelsea Craig and a 3 by Courtney Clifton (her third) helped create a seven-point spread.

Keisha Compton score three straight buckets for a 38-27 working lead before tech got the half's last points.

This is the last time CU will play Tech as a member of the Mid-South Conference. Tech, on probation from post-season play for applying for NCAA Divison II status, will be leaving the conference at the end of 2012 spring sports.

The Lady Tigers are home, at Powell Athletic Center, 203 Tiger Way, Campbellsville, KY, Tuesday, November 22, 2011, when they play Berea College. Tipoff will be at 6pmET.The game will be broadcast over WLCU (88.7). -RICHARD RoBARDS
