With Laurier taking a two-point lead into the fourth, rookie Brittyn Graves came to life, scoring six of her 10 points on the night. She also would set a new season and career-high with eight rebounds. 

The game remained close as Laurier was up just three points in the last possession of the game, however, Laurier was able to lock up the victory and raise their record to 4-6 on the season.

Campbell finished with five more rebounds in the frame to help secure her first career double-double.

The Golden Hawks head into the exam and holiday break tied with Windsor for fourth in the OUA West division, with the Lancers currently holding one game in-hand.
