WEST LONG BRANCH, N.J. (Interstat) — The Monmouth Hawks delivered a dominant defensive performance, holding the Campbell Fightin’ Camels to a season-low scoring output in a lopsided 72-31 victory in women’s college basketball on Sunday afternoon at the Multipurpose Activity Center. Monmouth, which improved to 12-5 overall, established control early and never relented, capitalizing on a frigid shooting afternoon from Campbell. The Hawks’ defense was the story, forcing 19 Campbell turnovers and converting them into 16 points, while also limiting the Fightin’ Camels to just 16 points in the paint. Campbell, which fell to 11-8, managed only four points off Monmouth’s miscues. The most important part of the game was Monmouth’s overwhelming first-half surge that rendered the final two quarters a formality. After a competitive opening few minutes, the Hawks closed the first quarter on a 12-2 run to lead 17-7. The onslaught continued in the second period, where Monmouth outscored Campbell 22-8. A stifling defensive stretch saw the Hawks hold the Fightin’ Camels without a field goal for over seven minutes, expanding a 22-11 lead into a 39-15 advantage by halftime. Campbell’s 15 first-half points underscored the complete defensive lockdown executed by Monmouth. Divine Dibula, a 6-foot-1 forward from Ottawa, Canada, anchored the Hawks’ effort with a commanding double-double. She finished with 16 points, 12 rebounds, three assists and a block, controlling the interior on both ends of the floor. Her presence was pivotal in Monmouth’s 32-16 advantage in points in the paint. However, the offensive fireworks were provided by guard GiGi Gamble. The Somerset, New Jersey, native erupted for a game-high 30 points in just 30 minutes of action. Gamble’s scoring barrage included four 3-pointers and was a consistent force throughout the contest, helping Monmouth maintain and extend its substantial lead. The Hawks received balanced contributions across the roster. Alexis Andrews added 12 points, while Ella Farrelly of Guelph, Canada, provided significant rim protection with three blocks. Kathy Kersaint-Pierre of Repentigny, Canada, chipped in four points, five rebounds and two assists. The depth was evident as reserve Adena Webster scored all five of her points in the final quarter. Campbell struggled to find any offensive rhythm. Gianni Boone led the Fightin’ Camels with eight points, while Jasmine Nivar added six points and four rebounds. Emerson Thompson scored four points and registered a block. The team’s leading scorer was held well below its season average, hampered by Monmouth’s relentless defensive pressure and an inability to secure second-chance opportunities. The victory marked a strong rebound for Monmouth following a road loss to Northeastern on Jan. 11. The Hawks have now won two straight conference games. Campbell, coming off a road win at Northeastern on Jan. 16, saw its two-game winning streak snapped decisively. According to National Statistical’s ELO system, Monmouth entered the game with a 58.40 percent probability to win, a projection they exceeded with a performance that was never in doubt after the first quarter. Monmouth next hosts Northeastern on Sunday, Jan. 25. Campbell travels to face Hampton on Friday, Jan. 23.

(Interstat) — Two teams riding winning streaks will meet Sunday when the Monmouth Hawks host the Campbell Fightin’ Camels in a women’s NCAA Division I basketball matchup at the Multipurpose Activity Center.

A key facilitator for Monmouth is guard Maria Amaro, who is coming off a 9-point, 7-assist performance in the loss to Northeastern on Jan. 11.

In Friday’s win over Northeastern, Boone logged 38 minutes, scoring 11 points and dishing five assists.
