Rutherford on Campbell: "She's a complete player this year and will have to take on the leadership role. She can play both guard and forward and will be a scoring threat at both positions. She's quick and can move a ball club. She has a lot of enthusiasm for the game and can make things happen on the court. She had a great summer experience playing in the ABA-USA Jones Cup. I'm really excited about Sarah's senior year as a player. She has really put her skills together as one of the best players in the country."
