Losing rarely is easy on a coach, and few have gone through as much of it as Robbie Laing did during his first two years at Campbell.

The struggles included an overall record of 5-49 and a 22-game losing streak to end last season, including all 20 games in the Atlantic Sun Conference. No other team in Division I went winless in its conference.

"I cannot begin to tell you how painful it is, each and every day," Laing said Monday. "You can't sleep at night, and when you get up in the morning, it's still with you. It was just total misery."

Things might finally be turning around for the Fighting Camels.
