AMHERST, Mass. - University of Massachusetts women's basketball Head Coach Marnie Dacko has announced that Brooke Campbell (Baltimore, Md.) will transfer and be eligible to play in the 2003-04 season for the Minutewomen. Campbell, a six-foot guard/forward, has spent the past two seasons at Midland (Texas) College.
"We are delighted to have Brooke join our program," said Dacko. "She has had a great two years at Midland College and will bring a lot of confidence and experience to our young team next year. She runs the floor extremely well and will add stability to our defense. She will be a great addition to the UMass family"

Last season, Campbell helped lead Midland to a 31-6 overall record and a Western Junior College Athletic Conference (WJCAC) championship, NJCAA Region V title and a third-place finish in the National Junior College Tournament. In 2001-02, Midland finished the regular season 26-6 and finished second in its conference. Campbell was a two-time honorable mention All-WJCAC while at Midland.
Campbell is a graduate of St. Francis Academy in Baltimore where she was a member of the 2000 district championship team.
Campbell is the fourth player to commit to UMass for the 2003-04 season. She joins Sha-Kia Hart (Westchester, N.Y.), Joyce Massey (Detroit, Mich.) and Tamara Tatham (Brampton, Ontario).
