TOWSON, Md. (Interstat) — A pair of teams riding contrasting momentum will meet Friday when the Towson Tigers host the Campbell Fightin’ Camels in a nonconference women’s basketball matchup at SECU Arena.

Both teams enter with 7-6 overall records, but their paths have diverged recently. Towson has won three straight, including a 63-61 victory over Morgan State on Tuesday and a dramatic 87-86 overtime win at Maryland-Eastern Shore on Dec. 17. Campbell, meanwhile, has been idle since a 59-81 loss at East Carolina on Dec. 21.

The Tigers are led by guard Thalia Shepard, who is coming off a strong stretch. She nearly posted a double-double with 14 points and nine rebounds against Morgan State, following an 18-point, seven-rebound, seven-assist performance in a win over Lehigh. Her versatility has been key for Towson.

Campbell will counter with forward Gianni Boone, who has been a consistent presence. In the loss to East Carolina, Boone contributed 11 points, seven rebounds and two blocks in 23 minutes. She also had 10 points and seven rebounds in a blowout win over CarolinaU on Dec. 11.

The Fightin’ Camels will look to reignite an offense that scored 100 points in that game against CarolinaU but was held under 60 in its last outing. Towson’s defense has been tested during its win streak, allowing an average of 71.3 points over the last three games.

This game, organized by the Colonial Athletic Association, serves as a final nonconference tune-up for both programs before they dive into their respective league schedules next week. Campbell opens CAA play at Drexel on Sunday, while Towson begins its conference slate at Hofstra on Jan. 9.

Tip-off is set for Friday, Jan. 2, 2026, in Towson.
