The senior infielder tied the UAM record for career stolen bases in the final game of the regular season giving her 55 stolen bases in her career as a Blossom. Her 14 steals this season is tied for fifth in the GAC and also moved her into the top 10 in career stolen bases in the league.
Camp burst on the scene with a strong freshman season for the Blossoms to receive All-GAC honorable mention recognition.
