Congratulations to Jessica Porten, MCC's September Student-Athlete of the Month.  The Grant High School graduate has competed on our volleyball teams for the past two seasons. 

Jess is a 5'11 "outside hitter for our successful volleyball team. The team finished its 2023-24 season 26-10 overall and 5-2 in the conference. The team is currently 12-1, and Jessica has 114 kills and 19 blocks this season.

Coach Shari Mayner lauds her as "a leader on the court, in stats, and the classroom." 

The sophomore desires to transfer to a warmer area like Florida. She excels in the classroom as well, maintaining a 4.00. She will graduate with an Associate in Science degree and is on the path to graduating as an NJCAA Academic All-American.

"It has been a pleasure to watch Jess grow as an individual, student, and player here.  She has the tools to succeed on the court, in the classroom, and in life.  We are proud to be part of her bright future," adds Director of Athletics Karen Wiley.
