FAMU guard Jasmine Grice has been named the co-preseason
player of the year by the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC). She shares the honor with Hampton University senior
Alyssa Bennett.
Grice, who completed her undergraduate degree during the summer,
returned to play her final season as a graduate student. She was in the top 10 in National Collegiate Athletic
Association Division-I scoring for most of the season, averaging 21.7
points-per-game. Grice finished the
season as the No.9 scorer, after leading the country at one point during the
2012-2013 season. Grice will look to
lead a revamped Lady Rattler lineup this season. She was also named to the second team
All-MEAC.
As a team, the Lady Rattlers were selected to finish fourth
overall by the MEAC’s coaches and sports information directors. The Hampton Lady
Pirates are preseason favorites to repeat as champions.
