LEXINGTON, Va. — Senior outside hitter Anna Lausberg (Ocoee, Fla./Bishop Moore Catholic) totaled a match-high 17 kills, along with 15 digs, four service aces and three blocks to lead the Washington and Lee volleyball team to a 3-1 victory over Roanoke on Tuesday at the Warner Center.

The Maroons (18-3, 6-2 ODAC) took advantage of the Generals' (11-9, 6-0 ODAC) errors in the first set to win, 25-17. W&L responded by claiming the second, 25-15 and the third, 25-22.

Roanoke held an 18-12 lead in the fourth set, but the Generals won 10 of the next 12 points, including three kills by Lausberg, to grab a 22-20 advantage. The Maroons eventually evened the set at 24-24, but a service error and an attack error by Roanoke gave W&L a 26-24 win.
