Along with his shooting prowess, Merthie averaged two steals per outing, which ranked second in the A-Sun. Merthie, a Preseason All-Conference Team member, enters the season with 28 career double-digit point games and ranks ninth in program history with threes made with 121.

Season Opening Game: Campbell at Virginia Tech, Nov. 12th at 7:30 p.m. - The Camels' season starts with five games away from Buies Creek including the season opener at Virginia Tech, who went 25-9 last season and barely missed out on the NCAA Tournament.
