BUIES CREEK, N.C. - After helping lead the Camels to a 2-1 victory over Francis Marion in her first collegiate start in the central defense, Campbell junior Kaili Terry was named A-Sun women's soccer defensive player of the week. A starter during her first two years as a forward for the Camels, Terry shifted to the back line and helped organize a unit that allowed only seven shots on the game -- and just two on goal.

A red-shirt junior from Carrollton, Texas and Hebron High School, Terry played the full 90 minutes. The Camel defense did not allow a shot on goal for the final 44:43 of the contest to protect the one-goal margin.

Terry comes from a true "soccer family." Her father (Kevin) played professional soccer indoors for the Cleveland Force and is a FIFA and MLS referee. Her older brother (Kevin) played at A-Sun rival Lipscomb and younger brother (Keegan) is a freshman on the Campbell men's team.

On Friday, Hanna Salmen scored just 14 seconds into the match and Campbell claimed a 2-1 win over visiting Francis Marion. Olga Ekblom tallied a 25th minute strike to double the Camel lead. CU then weathered an early second-half strike from Amanda Hall by not allowing a shot on target for the final 44 minutes and registered its first season-opening win since 2005.

Annabelle Gibney matched her career-best two-assist performance last year vs. USC Upstate. Campbell finished with a 12-7 edge in shots, including a 9-2 margin in attempts on goal.

Campbell looks for a second-straight victory to open the season Monday night when North Carolina State visits for a 7:00 p.m. start. The contest is the second of four-straight home dates at the start of CU's 2009 schedule. CU also hosts South Carolina State (Sept. 3) and Appalachian State (Sept. 5) before leaving the home surface for the first time this year.

NC State dealt the Camels a 4-0 loss last year at Raleigh and holds a 12-0-1 advantage in the all-time series, which dates to 1992, Campbell's first varsity season. Campbell owns a 3-19-1 all-time record against current Atlantic Coast Conference members. The 3 wins came against Virginia Tech before the Hokies joined the ACC.

Campbell plays its first four and nine of its first 11 games of the year in Buies Creek at the Eakes Athletic Complex. Campbell's 12 home regular season games are the most in the program's history. CU played 11 home matches in 1995, including two A-Sun Championship contests. Since its first year of varsity play in 1992, the women's team has fashioned a 75-58-12 record at the Eakes Complex.
