It's no wonder the Saints have been hard to stop on their path towards this Saturday's women's Premier League Hockey grand final.
Campbell has anchored a formidable Saints defence between the posts, one which gave up just three goals in the regular season.
They'll need more of that excellent defensive work against a minor premier Lithgow Panthers outfit who scored two of those goals in their last-minute 2-1 success against the Saints earlier this year.
Dubbo-based goalkeeper Campbell is currently in her third season with St Pat's and has taken her game to new heights with each season that has gone by.
Saints coach Ben Weal highlighted the Saints stopper as a standout performer in the 2-0 preliminary final win last Saturday against Confederates.
Campbell said the team have been eyeing off a rematch with the Panthers ever since their unfortunate last quarter collapse against them.
"The big games are the ones where you've got to turn up for it. They're the ones that really get you fired up, and I enjoy the atmosphere," she said.

"Hopefully we don't let in two goals in the last five minutes like last time against Lithgow. I think we're just as good as them, and maybe fitter. We turn up for the big games and we've got a lot of experience in that back line."
Training has been a difficult task for Campbell in 2020.
That's not just because of the distance between herself and her teammates but also because of the interruptions coronavirus restrictions have brought about.
I've never felt this sort of passion for a club anywhere else.

But Campbell's found ways to keep her skills sharp in disrupted season.
"I feel like I've gone alright but it's hard because I don't get to train with the girls. This year has also been hard due to COVID. I haven't been allowed on the Dubbo turf so I've been going to tennis courts to train," she said.
"There's a local camping site a couple of kilometres outside of Dubbo in Toongi and I've been training on that. I'm able to rock up there whenever I want."
Campbell is looking to add to the Premier League Hockey title she won with Pat's in 2018 during her debut season with the club.
With every game over those past three years Campbell has improved her own game, along with her connection with the defensive line in front of her.
"This is a great group to play with and they're such a passionate team. I think that's what gets us over the line most of the time - that passion everyone has for St Pat's," she said.
"Even though I've only been there three years I've never felt this sort of passion for a club anywhere else."
Panthers enter the grand final as defending champions following a 2-1 win over Bathurst City.
The grand final at Lithgow Hockey Complex starts 1.30pm.
