BUIES CREEK, N.C. – Gardner-Webb women's basketball clinched a share of the Big South regular season title and the No. 1 seed in the postseason tournament with a 63-50 win at Campbell Saturday.

The Runnin' Bulldogs (22-4, 14-0 Big South) wrapped up their first Big South regular season title since 2010. GWU won the league's tournament in 2011.

Alasia Smith scored 17 points and pulled down eight rebounds, Layken Cox scored 14 points and both Jhessyka Williams and Ki'Ari Cain added 12 points in the win.

Gardner-Webb led by just three at halftime, but took off in the third quarter – outscoring the Camels (13-12, 8-6 Big South) 21-9 to build an insurmountable margin.

Campbell trimmed into the lead over the final two minutes of the game, but never seriously threatened. Gardner-Webb led by as many as 18 points in the fourth quarter.

GWU has a four-game lead over second-place High Point with four to play and swept the Panthers during the regular season.

Head coach Alex Simmons and her squad have games remaining on the road at Winthrop (Feb. 15), at home vs. UNC Asheville (Feb. 18), on the road at Longwood (Feb. 22) and at home vs. USC Upstate (Feb. 25).

Gardner-Webb shot 46.3 percent from the floor (25-of-54), made 6-of-17 from deep and shot 70.0 percent at the free throw line – averaging an efficient 1.068 points per possession. The defense clamped down well and produced transition points, as GWU scored 18 points off of 20 Campbell turnovers. 

The Runnin' Bulldogs had just nine turnovers themselves and trailed for only nine seconds on Saturday.

Christabel Ezumah was a force inside for the Camels, scoring 20 points to go with 13 rebounds, but only one other teammate scored in double figures as Campbell shot only 39.1 percent for the game (18-of-46) and turned the basketball too often.

Gardner-Webb will hit the road again on Wednesday night, traveling to face Winthrop at 6:00 pm on ESPN+ (WatchESPN.com) and ESPNCLT.com (Radio).
