Waggoner’s 12 Kills and Four Solo Blocks Carry Lawrenceville Past Marshall in Three Sets

Lawrenceville survived a three-set tournament test from Marshall on Saturday, Sept. 5, 2026, riding freshman Bria Waggoner’s 12 kills and a dominant night at the service line to a 2-1 victory over the Lions at a neutral-site event.

Marshall, listed as the visiting team for the match, dropped to 18-8 on the season. The Indians improved to 22-5.

The numbers at the net belonged to Marshall. The Lions hit .193 as a team on 29 kills against 13 errors in 83 swings, while Lawrenceville finished at .083 with 24 kills and 16 errors on 96 attempts. What the Indians did better — and what ultimately decided the match — was serve. Lawrenceville put up 12 aces to Marshall’s seven and committed just eight service errors across the three sets, repeatedly pushing the Lions out of system and forcing them to swing from off the net.

Waggoner was the central figure. The freshman outside hit .240 with 12 kills on 25 attempts, added four solo blocks for a team-high 1.3 per set, and chipped in eight digs in an all-around effort. Sophomore Reagan Ivers was nearly as productive and more efficient, converting seven kills on 14 swings for a .429 clip while leading the Indians with four aces.

Lawrenceville’s setting duties were split, with freshman Sienna Ivers distributing 12 assists and sophomore Elise Crawford adding 10. Crawford also served three aces without a single service error in 13 attempts. Senior Ella Waggoner contributed three aces, two kills and two solo blocks.

Defensively, junior Macy Root anchored the back row with 11 digs and handled a team-high 14 serve receptions with only one error.

Marshall’s offense ran through sophomore Lillian Ross, who led all players with 11 kills on 22 attempts and hit .364 — the best mark among Lions with significant volume. Senior Harper Richardson delivered a complete stat line: nine kills at .292, a team-best 14 assists, nine digs and two block assists.

Senior Ellie Delp was Marshall’s most dangerous server, striking four aces on 17 attempts for a 23.5 percent ace rate while adding three kills and six digs. Junior Ali Sheets led the Lions’ defense with 13 digs and took eight serve receive attempts.

The Lions’ trouble spots were narrow but costly. Senior Mckenzie Davis recorded four kills but was charged with six attack errors for a -.125 clip, and Marshall’s eight service errors in a three-set match left points on the floor in a contest decided by a single set swing.

Freshman Libby Huisinga offered a bright spot off the bench rotation, converting two of four swings into kills and adding two block assists.
