Thrilling Milestone: Trey Campbell Surpasses 1,000 Career Points!
Monday’s showdown between the University of Northern Iowa (UNI) and the Coe Kohawks was one for the history books. Not only did the Panthers secure a momentous 99-34 victory against Coe, but senior guard Trey Campbell reached a career-defining milestone by surpassing 1,000 points on his collegiate scoreboard.
A Night to Remember
Playing on their home court at the McLeod Center, the Panthers showed no mercy as they led from the tip-off, embarking on a 9-0 run. As the clock ticked, the gap widened, with UNI sinking 60% of field goals and 50% of their three-pointers in the first half. Campbell’s performance was instrumental, marking 12 points early on and maintaining the momentum that saw UNI finish the first half with a solid 46-18 lead.
The Second Half Dominance
The excitement continued as freshman Geon Hutchins stole the spotlight. His outstanding 15 points and nine rebounds emphasized the Panthers’ dominance, contributing significantly to a historic win margin. Chase Courbat set his career-high of 12 points, underscoring the entire team’s fiery spirit. The exceptional performance was completed with UNI’s defensive prowess, forcing Coe into 22 turnovers—a season-high for the Panthers.
Panthers Set Records
UNI’s defense restricted Coe to just 34 points, a record low for Panther defensive history since 1949-50. Trey’s milestone places him as the 47th Panther, and Campbell proves himself once more under the stewardship of head coach Ben Jacobson. This triumphant feat underscores both the hard work and dedication of the team, and Campbell’s exceptional career at UNI. According to UNI Athletics, this game further solidifies the Panthers’ competitive edge.
