In a recent interview, Harper Murray opened up about her plans for the 2025 volleyball season after two of her seniors, Lexi Rodriguez and Merrit Beason, turned pro following the 2024 NCAA season. She revealed that she will focus on her skills to step up both physically and mentally so that she can take her team to new heights.
"The leadership side of things is going to be big for us. Merritt and Lexi are leaving, and we're going to need people to step up, and that's something I hope to step into, but more mentally, I think that's where the growth is going to come, and physically, volleyball is a game of errors and momentum, so that's always something to keep in back of your head," Harper Murray said.
The 19-year-old will be seen as a presenting athlete at the women's NIT at the Kansas City Convention Centre on February 14, where she will be talking about significant topics, such as mental health struggles and inspiring agendas to help the young volleyball athletes.
