Jr., MB, Dalton, OH/Dalton
Granger earned herself back-to-back NEC Player of the Week honors through her performances in a 4-0 week that kept the Colonials as one of the nation’s 10 remaining undefeated teams, and one of just two that are currently 10-0 on the year. The Dalton, OH native averaged 3.23 kills, 1.31 blocks, and 1.08 service aces per set, while hitting .418 on 79 attempts. Granger contributed 15 kills on .591 hitting, and added five aces and five blocks in RMU’s first win over Duquesne in 12 seasons on Tuesday. She went on to be named MVP of the Henson’s Hawk Invitational, marking her second consecutive Tournament MVP honor. The junior outside hitter’s top performance from the Invitational came in the Colonials’ 3-1 win over Rider on Saturday, where she tallied 11 kills, seven blocks (one solo), five digs and four service aces. Granger currently leads RMU in kills (2.97/set), hitting (.348) and service aces (0.64/set), and ranks second on the Colonials and 19th nationally in blocks (1.50/set).
