MILWAUKEE - Women's volleyball middle blocker Carsen Murray is the Blue & Gold Student-Athlete of the Month for June and July 2023, as chosen by Marquette Athletics' Academics and Student Programs staff.
Murray is a rising senior majoring in innovation & entrepreneurship with a second major in marketing. She works part-time as a content creator for a social media and branding company and has participated in developing business plans through her entrepreneurship courses, including creating consulting strategies for court reporters and designing business expansion strategies for small business clients. Murray has been named to Dean's List, Athletic Director's Honor Roll, and BIG EAST All-Academic team every semester.
For the upcoming 2023-24 academic year, she was elected by her peers as President of SAAC (Student Athlete Advisory Committee), on which she has served on the Diversity, Equity & Inclusion subcommittee, and has been one of her team's representative the past two years. Murray is also involved in LEAD, the leadership development program, and is a peer-facilitator. She is a volunteer mentor to Milwaukee area middle-school and high-school students through the Running Rebels program.
Murray was a unanimous All-BIG EAST selection in the fall of 2022 and should contend for All-America honors in 2023 after leading the BIG EAST and ranking in the top-10 nationally in hitting percentage at .416. The native of Lee's Summit, Missouri averaged 2.28 kills and 1.08 blocks per set as a junior and holds a career hitting percentage of .381, which would rank as MU's all-time best once she hits the requisite number of attempts. Murray was an AVCA All-East Region selection and was honored for her work in the classroom with College Sports Communicators Academic All-District honors.
