BUIES CREEK, N.C. (AP) -Kirk Williams scored 22 points and topped the 1,000-point mark for his career as Longwood took advantage of sloppy ballhandling and beat Campbell 83-80 Wednesday night.

Longwood (7-22), which was up by as much as 14 in the first half, held a 38-32 halftime lead with the help of 6-for-12 shooting from 3-point range as well as a 12-3 edge in points off Campbell turnovers. The Camels (10-14), who had 21 turnovers, further hurt their cause by missing the front end of three one-and-one chances in the opening half.

The Camels rallied with a 21-2 run spanning the halves and took a 43-38 lead. Williams helped take the momentum back for the Lancers, scoring eight points in a 13-0 run that Campbell couldn't overcome.

Billy Robinson Jr. and Lamat Barrett scored 17 for Longwood, and Ryan Bogan and Kevin Swecker had 13 apiece for the Lancers.

Jonathan Rodriguez had a game-high 28 for Campbell, and Kyle Vejraska had 17 on 7-for-8 shooting.
