JERSEY CITY, NJ - Saint Peter's University Athletics has announced that women's volleyball sophomore
Karla Seda and men's golf senior
Stanley Garrant have been named October Student-Athletes of the Month.
Seda, a junior libero, paced the Peacocks' defense during the month of September. The sophomore currently leads the MAAC in digs (310) and digs per set (5.34). To date, she is the lone player in the conference with over 300 digs and her 5.34 average is the only average above the 5.00 threshold in the league. Following the Connecticut State University Invitational (Sep. 13-14), Seda was named to the CCSU All-Tournament Team after recording a tournament-leading 56 digs in three matches. With Seda leading the defense, Saint Peter's notched all three of its current wins in the month, including a 3-1 victory over Manhattan, the program's first MAAC-opening win since 2008 and the first conference-opening road win since 2004.
Named the MAAC's Men's Golfer of the Month earlier Wednesday morning, Garrant, who played in all four rounds possible during a month that featured two different tournaments, was statistically the top golfer on a team that took a tournament title and placed in the top-five at another. The Poughkeepsie, New York, native averaged a team-low 70.50 strokes per round for the month on the way to winning the Monmouth Fall Invitational's medalist honor. His two-under 69 in the round round at that tournament was tied for the second-lowest par score for the month; he also shot two-under 68 in the third round of The Doc Grimmler to earn a 17th-place finish at the first tournament of the season.
In total, three of Garrant's four rounds played were either at or under par for the month of September.
