Smith, a forward from Twinsburg, Ohio, registered six goals and four assists as a senior at Twinsburg High School. She was a two-year starter at Twinsburg after transferring from Cuyahoga Valley Christian Academy where she was also a starter.

“Camille is an exciting player and we are really happy to know that she will be a Lady Cougar next year,” said MVNU head coach Jonathan Meade. “She has a lot of ability and versatility and I expect that she will make an immediate impact on our team next year. She is a good team player, but she also has the explosiveness to creat for herself and score goals.”

“I think Camille is a great fit for MVNU,” added Meade. “She believes strongly in her faith as well as working hard in her academic and athletic endeavors. I look forward to coaching her next year.”

In addition to playing soccer at Twinsburg, Smith is a member of National Honor Society, NASA SEMAA, and College Prospects of America. She also volunteered at the National Youth Sports Program as a soccer coach. She played club soccer for the CSA Impact for seven years, the Eastside Kicker of Cleveland Heights for two years, and the Cleveland Cobras for one year.

“There are several reasons why I chose to attend MVNU,” said Smith. “I like the very friendly environment and the close atmosphere with friends and the professors. I also chose it for the Christian experience.”

MVNU posted a 15-7-1 overall record in 2007 and was ranked No. 25 in the final NAIA national poll. The Lady Cougars also claimed a share of their fourth American Mideast Conference South Division title in the past five years, and MVNU has won two National Christian College Athletic Association national titles (2003 and 2006).
