Sophomore defender Murita Storey has appeared in every match this season for the Camels, tallying two assists through the team's first 14 games. Storey recorded three points, a goal and an assist, while appearing in all 18 games as a freshman in 2013.
The Chesapeake, Va., native met with Campbell Athletics to discuss the team's new direction under first-year head coach Stuart Horne and her transition from forward to defender.
Q: What factored into your decision to attend Campbell?
A: "I thought it was cool that all the teams would come out to support each other which is my favorite thing about Campbell. I got here on my official visit, and there was basketball and softball players … everybody was out there making me feel hyped. We did not have that at my high school."
Q: What's it like playing for Coach Horne?
A: "He is definitely different from last year's coach, and there is a more positive environment which is really good to work around. He just came in with a positive attitude this year. I just said 'hey were about to go get that stuff done now."
Q: How have you adjusted in your new role on the field?
A: "I've had to transition quickly, learning how to defend. I'm able to give more attack going forward, but I still have to get back to defend."
Q: What are your goals for the season?
A: "Since conference just started, as a team I would like us to win the championship. We have the ability to, and I have my eyes focused on winning the championship. I am ready for this ring to come, and it would be a huge difference."
Q: Do you have any animals at home?
A: "I have one dog named Twixie, and she is a chocolate lab. She is 77 years old in dog years, but she has a young soul."
Q: What is your favorite genre of music?
A: "I would have to say that my favorite type of music is R&B. I definitely know that I am not a fan of country music which is something I have had to get used to here."
Q: What are you studying at Campbell, and do you have any post-graduation plans?
A: "I am studying clinical research which has a lot of science in there and it is very time consuming. I plan on going to pharmacy school, possibly here at Campbell."
Q: Do you have a pregame routine?
A: "I do not necessarily have a routine, but I do like being with the team. I am not one of those superstitious type of girls. I do enjoy the pregame meal and the music definitely helps get everyone pumped up in their element."
The Camels host Winthrop Saturday night at 7 p.m. for its 2014 Homecoming match.
