CAMPBELLSVILLE, Ky. – No. 25 Life University (17-8, 5-4 MSC) took down Campbellsville (18-7, 3-6 MSC) in a 81-73 decision on Thursday.
 
"I think it's an understatement saying this was a big win for us," Head Coach Keith Adkins said. "After dropping one at home last week, it was vital for us to pick up at least one more win on the road. Give our guys a ton of credit.
