Campbell racked up 1,105 digs for a school record, 388 kills, and 312 aces in her time playing for the Cape Fear Academy Hurricanes.
"I chose Morehead State because when I visited, I felt an overwhelming sense of community and love throughout the whole town," she said. "When I met the team, I also got a great vibe from them all, and they were very welcoming. The school campus is also small and near a body of water-which fit one of my wants for the future."
She was also in the National Honor Society, as well as earning an AP Scholar Award with honors.
Campbell was Honorable Mention All-Conference her freshman year, immediately being named an All-Conference player her sophomore year with an Honorable Mention All-State accolade. She was named All-Conference, All-State, and Most Valuable Player her junior year.

Wilmington, I want to experience new scenery and make new memories surrounded by my people!"
Hall attends Port Charlotte High School in Florida.
She helped aid her high school team to three district championships, three regional championships, and a state final four appearance in her first three years and is in the midst of another final four appearance currently.
"I chose Morehead State because it felt like my home away from home," said Hall. "The team culture was not something I just saw, I felt it. It's something I see myself being a part of and the level of dedication from the coaching staff is beyond exciting!"
While attending PCHS, she was in the National Honors Society and had the highest GPA on her team.
