Currently, Munlyn's 140 total blocks ranks third all-time (trailing her first (153) and second (149) place individual rankings already), 119 block assists are only six away from setting a new single-season record and her 1.57 blocks per set are 0.18 percentage points above the second place all-time mark.
The Suwanee, Ga., native currently ranks sixth in the nation in total blocks and blocks per set. Munlyn's 140 total blocks also ranks first in the SEC, while her 1.57 blocks per set ranks second-best in the conference.
