The senior joined rare air on Friday night when she tied Laura Espinoza for the most home runs in NCAA single-season history. In the bottom of the second inning against Wisconsin in the Big Ten tournament semifinals, the left-handed Grant went the opposite way for her 37th homer of the 2026 campaign, matching the long-ball total that Espinoza accumulated at Arizona in 1995. Espinoza accomplished that feat in 72 games.
Grant did it in 54. HISTORY! Megan Grant has tied the NCAA Division I home run record with her 37th of the year!
