Griggs will begin her coaching career at her alma mater. A 2020 IUP graduate, Griggs was a two-year starter who helped the Crimson Hawks to the greatest four-year run in program history. During her time playing for Coach McConnell, Griggs and the Hawks had a combined 112-18 (.862) record with three PSAC West regular season and two conference tournament titles, two Atlantic Region championships, and back-to-back appearances in the NCAA Division II semifinals.

Griggs was the PSAC West Defensive Athlete of the Year and first team all-conference selection as a senior in 2020, leading IUP to a regular season conference title and the No. 1 seed in the Atlantic Region for the NCAA tournament.
