A junior from Parker, Colorado, Baruch’s Lauren Hayden has been a key component to the Bearcats’ success over the last three season. Last week Hayden helped lead Baruch to a 3-2 mark, as the squad clinched second place in the final CUNYAC standings for the second straight year with a sweep over fourth place Brooklyn.
She started with six kills against the Bulldogs, then notched 10 kills and three digs in four set win over Union College, tallied 14 kills and three blocks versus SUNY-New Paltz and finished the week with 11 kills and three kills in a win over SUNY-Plattsburgh.
