Rutgers-Camden Athletics

Senior guard/forward Kamari Talley had a stellar week for the Rutgers-Camden women’s basketball team, collecting three double-doubles in as many games, including one of the finest performances in the history of the program. In an overtime victory against William Paterson University on Saturday, Talley set a program record with an amazing 30 rebounds, including 20 off the defensive boards, and added 28 points to tie her own Rutgers-Camden career high. Her performance led the Scarlet Raptors over the Pioneers for the first time since Feb. 8, 2003, breaking an 18-game losing streak against William Paterson and lifting Rutgers-Camden to a 2-3 record in the New Jersey Athletic Conference. She followed that game with a 13-point, 11-rebound performance in a win over John Jay on Sunday as the Scarlet Raptors hiked their overall record to 5-4 at the semester break. Talley also notched 24 points and tied her previous high of 19 rebounds against Stockton University on Dec. 9. For the week, Talley averaged 21.7 points and 20.0 rebounds, while adding 11 steals and three assists. The Raptor tri-captain has collected seven consecutive double-doubles this season and is averaging 20.1 points and 15.1 rebounds overall. She leads the NJAC in rebounding average by a wide margin and ranks a close second in scoring.
