‘Eaters add another to roster

Nic Campbell, a 6-6 forward, has signed an Athletic Grant-In-Aid

UCI beginning this fall quarter.

Campbell is currently playing for the Australian Institute of

Sport (AIS) in the South East Australian Basketball League (SEABL).

He is averaging 17 points and 4.5 rebounds per game for AIS, which

the East Conference of the SEABL.

Campbell scored 28 points in a 106-92 win over Frankston in the

regular-season finale. He is shooting 43 percent from the field,

including 40 percent from three-point range, in 24 games. Campbell,

who is second on the team with 82 assists, is shooting 75 percent
