NASHUA – Rivier University women’s basketball standout senior Lyric Grumblatt is becoming basketball royalty.

Manchester’s Grumblatt was named to the Second Team for D3Hoops.com Region 1 as well as the New England Women’s Basketball Association (NEWBA) All-Region Second Team. These recognitions come after she was named the Great Northeast Athletic Conference (GNAC) Player of the Year in late February.

But that’s not all. Grumblatt, The Telegraph has learned, will play in the WBCA All-Star Game this Saturday in Columbus, Ohio. And she will also be playing in the NEWBA All-Star Game later this month.

“Receiving all of the accolades has been pretty great, and they mean a lot to me since I’ve worked so hard throughout my career,” Grumblatt said. “I’m super excited to play in the two All-Star gmes since they give me two more excuses to put my uniform on again until October.

“The other accolades are honestly still unbelievable at times for me. Not mbecause I don’t believe I’ve earned them, but because there was a time early in my career when I was undervalued by many, especially coming into college. So to see all of my hard work pay off and be rewarded is a different kind of satisfying.”

Grumblatt finished second in the GNAC in scoring with 25.2 points per game on 41.5% shooting as she guided the Raiders to their third straight postseason appearance. Her 37.4% three-point percentage was the highest of all Rivier starters in the 2023-24 campaign.

Through 27 starts, Grumblatt produced eight double-doubles, averaging 7.9 rebounds, 3.0 steals, and 2.6 assists.

The former Manchester Memorial standout was named the GNAC Player of the Week and was placed on the New England Women’s Basketball Association (NEWBA) First Team on four occasions. Additionally, she was placed on the NEWBA Second Team once, and was named the NEWBA Player of the Week following a week in which she averaged 41.5 points and 6.5 rebounds.

Her 83 made 3-pointers broke the program’s all-time three-point record. She also scored 680 points to sit at 1,840, the second-most in program history, behind only head coach Deanna Purcell who notched 2,192 points in a career that ended in 2015.

“Having someone like Lyric means never being counted out of anything,” Purcell said. “No deficit or obstacle is too large to overcome and opponents know it. What’s funny is that people often mistake her as being only an offensive threat, somehow missing the fact that while yes, she leads our team in scoring, she also leads us in rebounds and steals.

“She contributes on all aspects of the game and truly has the type of work ethic and talent that isn’t seen often.”

Grumblatt is set to return for a graduate season in 2024-25.
