Carlsbad, New Mexico native Brittany Wright Manley is not only one of the top Mulerider Volleyball performers of the program's early rally-scoring era, but one of the best to ever represent the Muleriders in over five-plus decades of program history. 

A two-time All-Gulf South Conference selection, with first-team recognition in her senior season of 2003, as well as an all-academic team honoree, Wright was the first player in the program's rally-scoring era to earn a superlative all-league accolade when she was named the 2003 GSC West Division Player of the Year. 

That season, Wright set the program record for points scored in a single season with 567.0 which remains the program's top mark. That total came as a result of a program record 4.54 points per set. Her 495 kills across 125 sets played that season remain the second-most by a Mulerider in a single campaign, while her nearly 4.0 kills per set at 3.96 are the program standard. 

Wright's points and kills during that '03 season came behind an efficient effort on the attack as she posted the second-highest attack clip (.334) in a single season in program history (495-110-1151). That effort was highlighted by the best single match hit clip of .708 which Wright delivered on October 28 against Arkansas Tech. 

Despite her career at Southern Arkansas coming near the forefront of the rally-scoring era, Wright remains inside the top ten of eight career categories including kills (903), kills per set (3.31), attack attempts (2,234), attack percentage (.287), block assists (129), total blocks (151), points (1,022.5) and points per set (3.75).
