Prior to Saturday's match vs. Southern Utah, a 3-1 Montana victory, the Grizzlies took a few moments to celebrate its senior class of Janna Grimsrud, Missy Huddleston and Ashley Watkins.
Grimsrud moved into a starting role as a senior and has become one of the league's top blockers and attackers – leading her team for both categories. She was named to three preseason all-tournament teams, and a season ago was the team's Heart of the Grizzly award winner for her character and work ethic.
Â
Huddleston has been a model of consistency, playing in more than 100 career matches (95 starts) and tallying nearly 1,000 career digs, 900 kills and 150 blocks. Over the past eight matches since moving to the middle blocker position, she leads the Big Sky for blocking and has twice been named the league's player of the week.
Â
Watkins has accumulated more than 3,000 career assists and will finish her career ranked third in Griz history in the modern-scoring era. Not limited to setting, she has 80 career service aces and 33 double-doubles, and has started nearly 100 matches.
