In an interview with Hail Varsity, Murray opened up about her career and growing in aspects other than just her volleyball skills. She also compared her current experience with the upcoming freshmen cadets.

When asked about her overall experience as a junior player, Murray replied:

"Yeah, I feel so old. I feel so old, we're like we end practice and some of the freshmen will stay and get extra reps, and I'm like, that's such a freshman thing, because I feel like I'm kind of at the age where I might not get any better as a volleyball player.

"It's more about how I can strengthen my mental game in a leader in being more consistent and being smarter. I feel like volleyball skill kind of goes away over time and that's kind of how it goes, but I feel like I'm at the point where I'm just trying to grow in other aspects."
