FERRUM, Va. -- Rookie center Camry Green scored a career-high 17 points with 12 rebounds in her fifth double-double of the season, but it would not be enough as the Captains saw their 12-game streak halted by Ferrum College (17-4, 12-2), 82-58.

In the second half, the shooting woes continued for CNU, as the Captains opened up just 1-for-9 to start the second half. Ferrum stayed hot, using an 18-2 run to open the second half and pull ahead by the game-high 30.

A 12-2 run going the other way pulled CNU back within 20 as Nicole Mitchell led the way with a pair of tough layups. Senior Jerlisa Bowser hit a three with 4:34 remaining, making the score 71-51, and Andrea Hobbs added the next seven points to pull CNU back within 17, at 75-58 with 1:56 showing.
