She also led the team in blocks with 109, ranking ninth in the MAC.
Freshman middle blocker Grace Thomas was named to the All-MAC second team and the All-Freshman team. The freshman phenom totaled 230 kills on a .330 hitting percentage which was good enough for eighth in the MAC. She was also a force above the net, racking up 98 blocks on the season.

The Chippewas hope to finish their impressive season holding the championship trophy on Sunday. They must first take care of business against either Ball State or Toledo at 6:30 p.m. on Saturday in the semifinals of the MAC tournament.
