DeLand, Fla. - The No. 5 seed Campbell Fighting Camels eliminated the #3 ETSU Lady Bucs from the 2007 Atlantic Sun Softball Championship presented by Coca-Cola behind a complete game shutout from Lauren Caviness, 3-0.

Caviness struck out five batters while shutting down the Bucs offense. She will get right back into action, starting the Camels next game against Stetson. Courtney Quinn continued her hot tourney play with a two-run triple in the third inning, later coming home to score Campbell's third run. Jessica Huffman stole her forty-sixth base of the season, placing her third in the single-season A-Sun record book. Huffman currently ranks 28th all-time in NCAA history in stolen bases. Darci Gilbert pitched all seven innings for the Lady Bucs in the losing effort, striking out six batters. Mary Catherine Vercoe led the ETSU offense with two hits.

Campbell will turn right around and play the No. 1 seed Stetson Hatters for a chance to advance to the championship round. The winner will play Gardner-Webb at noon on Saturday for the Atlantic Sun Championship.
