“She was willing to work with me and saw the potential in me,” Sweet said. The same coach, Coach Liz, became one of Sweet’s biggest mentors. I was so bad in my first tournament my coach told the setter not to set me anymore. “I started club in eighth grade,” Sweet said. She did not start playing volleyball until sixth grade, when she joined a recreational team, and didn’t join her first club team for two more years.
Growing up in San Diego, Sweet’s first love was basketball. It is about forging relationships with her teammates, fighting for change, and enjoying her time along the way. But for Sweet, it isn’t all about volleyball. The volleyball team’s star middle blocker currently leads the NCAC with 103 kills through the team’s first twelve matches. Cami Sweet is a third-year majoring in Sociology and Law and Society with a minor in Africana Studies.
