Grandy Snags AVCA Southwest Region Honors

HATTIESBURG, Miss. - The American Collegiate Volleyball Association announced its All-Region Teams today. Southern Miss senior Kylie Grandy garnered All-Southwest Region Honorable Mention honors for the first time in her career.

Grandy was a two-time All-Conference USA Second Team selection before earning All-Conference USA First Team honors this season. Her 530 kills were a career-high by over a hundred kills, and her .217 hitting percentage was a 16-point increase from her junior season.

"I'm excited Kylie is being recognized with this honor," said head coach Stephanie Radecki. "She is an outstanding player and is very deserving."

The Rolesville, N.C., native finished her Southern Miss career No. 2 all-time in career kills in program history with 1,572. Grandy also became one of just a few Golden Eagles to be in the 1,000 kills and 1,000 digs club. A big-game player, Grandy recorded 28 kills in a five-set loss to C-USA Regular Season Champions Rice, and 26 kills in a five-set loss to then-No. 15 Purdue.

At the C-USA Tournament, when the Golden Eagles knocked off No. 2 Western Kentucky for the first time since 1988, Grandy smacked 15 kills and added four service aces.
