One week ago UCF senior Erin Campbell became just the fourth Knights volleyball player to ever notch 1,000 kills and 1,000 digs in a career during a 3-1 Conference USA loss at East Carolina.

This weekend Campbell and the Knights return to The Venue at UCF with an 8-8 overall mark (0-3 in C-USA) for a Friday night match against UAB (8-9, 2-1) at 7 p.m. and a Sunday afternoon meeting with Memphis (2-14, 0-3) at 12 p.m.

Erin Campbell

Against East Carolina, Campbell etched her name in the record book at UCF by turning in her sixth double-double of the year as she tallied 18 kills and 20 digs in the loss from the outside hitter position. Campbell, who along with Lauren Williams is one of two returning starters from last year, has led the Knights throughout the season with a 3.50 kills-per-set average thanks to 217 kills though 16 matches.

Born in Orlando, Campbell grew up in Kansas City, MO before becoming a Knight. She has a career high of 26 digs in one game (against Montana State on Sept. 8, 2007) and has had 22 kills in a game twice (most recently against Marshall on Oct. 3, 2008). She is now one of seven UCF players to ever reach 1,000 kills and one of eight players to manage 1,000 digs.

Topping those career lists is Renata Menchikova (No. 1 with 2,151 kills and No. 3 with 1,192 digs between 1995-97) and Miriam Metzcus (No. 1 with 1,644 digs and No. 3 with 1,811 kills between 1991-94). Also finishing her career with 1,000 kills and 1,000 digs was Tyra Harper (1,932 kills is No. 2 all-time and 1,097 digs is No. 6 all-time) between 1994-97.

Including the two matches taking place this weekend there are eight more home contests for the Knights before the start of the C-USA Championship at Rice, Nov. 20-22. The remainder of the regular season schedule features Rice (Oct. 16), Houston (Oct. 18), East Carolina (Oct. 23), Marshall (Oct. 24), Tulsa (Nov. 6) and SMU (Nov. 8).

In 2008 the Knights finished their first season under new head coach Todd Dagenais with a 15-17 overall mark, the best showing for the program since going 23-7 as a member of the Atlantic Sun in 2003. UCF had not reached double-figure wins since.
