GREENVILLE, N.C. – It was not the winning game that was expected, except perhaps some bold souls from Hamden, Ct. And Buies Creek, NC But the Sunday afternoon battle between fourth-seeded Quinnipiac and Campbell (third) delivered all the speed and momentum of a heavyweight game.

The two newcomers from the Greenville area exchanged shots for nine brilliant innings. The attack changed five times in the first eight innings and the match was tied 7-7 after eight. At that moment, we began to have the impression of knowing which team would win the last victory. Quinnipiac took advantage in the ninth – but Campbell was last, and Campbell got an answer. The Camels took advantage of two drummers and one mistake to score two goals in the ninth, winning a 9-8 win over a fly-off off-off, triggering a wild celebration and sending Campbell to Monday's regional final face the winner of the ECU Sunday night Quinnipiac elimination game.

"I told the guys before the game that they looked a lot like us: very messy, a lot of duplicates, pressure on the defense, and that's the case," said Campbell's coach, Justin Haire. "They do not go easily; I give them a lot of credit. They play at a high level and it was very fun, and our guys kept reacting. "
