Red Raider Club Scholar Athlete of the Month: Marguerite Grubb

Texas Tech volleyball senior Marguerite Grubb is not the typical student athlete. With balancing graduate classes, maintaining a nearly flawless GPA, and a rigorous schedule of practices and matches, it is no surprise that Grubb is this month's Red Raider Club Scholar Athlete of the Month.

"Marguerite is clearly a great student and she takes her academics seriously," Texas Tech volleyball head coach Tony Graystone said. "She knows what her goals are, and it's a great example for our younger players to see."

Grubb, who posted a 4.0 GPA on her way to earning her bachelor's degree in accounting, started graduate school in the spring and has made only one B in her college career. She also shines on the court as one of five Big 12 players to average over 10 assists per set.

"I think that prioritizing time is what has really helped me get where I am today," Grubb said. "Also, my parents have always instilled that academics is the ultimate goal."

Without the Red Raider Club, I would not be where I am today.

Grubb found a knack for accounting at an early age like she did for volleyball.

"I love organizing things," Grubb said. "My brain works very logically, and I like it when things make sense. I remember organizing a deck of cards when I was a kid during the summer, and I alphabetize my movies in my apartment."

According to Grubb, volleyball and accounting are compatible with each other.

"I think that volleyball and accounting go hand in hand," Grubb said. "You have to be precise in both, and by having a detailed mind, I think that I can see things on the court and perform the way that the coaches want me to.

Graduating with her master's degree in May, Grubb is grateful for people who have helped her succeed along the way.

"I am so appreciative for Texas Tech and the people who are involved," Grubb said. "Without the Red Raider Club, I would not be where I am today. By providing support and scholarships, I am able to go to graduate school and graduate in May."
