This honor is the 25th of a career that features three All-SAC selections, two all-region nods and an Academic All-American tally. The program's record holder for career double-doubles, 58, and rebounding average, 11.3, is seventh on the scoring list with 1,387, second in rebounds with 1,072 and fifth in triples at 157.
Kelci Marosites appeared in 93 contests racking up 540 points, 288 rebounds burying 106 three-pointers, a number that ranks 10th in the history of the program.
Griffin played in 121 games over four seasons at Mossy Creek producing 684 points, 251 rebounds and knocking down 102 three-pointers, just shy of the school's top 10 list.
