WVB: Wilkes Denies Lackawanna In Five-Set Classic

The Falcons Played Well But Still Couldn't Grab Their First Win Of 2026

10/21/26

SCRANTON, Pa. – A season-high 22 kills from Jana Hofmann (Colorado Springs, CO) wasn't enough, as Lackawanna College women's volleyball fell agonizingly short of its first win in a five-set thriller with Wilkes University on Wednesday night inside the historic Lackawanna College Student Union gymnasium by scores of 23-25, 25-23, 20-25, 25-16, and 15-12.
 
The Falcons (0-15) led 2-1 after the third set, but fell flat in a fourth set where they only hit .063 and committed five service errors, allowing the Lady Colonels (14-12) to build a steady lead and push the match to a fifth and final set.
 
In set five, the Falcons led 5-1 through three errors from Wilkes, but the Colonels pulled within 7-4 and then hit a 5-1 run to turn the match on its head and snag a 9-8 lead. The teams would trade 3-1 runs from there, with the Falcons getting within 13-12 after a rare kill from Adalee Rosado Rivera (Guyama, Puerto Rico), forcing a Wilkes timeout. After the timeout, the Colonels managed to score a kill to get to match point, and then force a reception error to snag the ace and win the match.
 
Hofmann had a season-best 22 kills as the only Falcon in double-digit kills, posting a .219 attack percentage and going for 20 digs on the night. Rosado Rivera had six assists and a team-best 23 digs, while Syriana Smith (Houston, TX) set a career-high with 21 assists. Kaitlyn Reed (Aurora, CO) added 18 assists and four aces, while Hailey Buck (Johnstown, PA) added 19 digs. Nadia Toth (Dalton, PA) had eight kills and eleven digs.
 
The Falcons hit .080 for the match and had seven aces and six total blocks, but Lackawanna committed 33 attack errors and 12 service errors for the match, while Wilkes had eight aces and ten total blocks for the match.
 
Lackawanna College is still in search of its first win, and the Falcons will get back to PSAC play this weekend with a pair of games. On Friday, October 23rd, the Falcons will take on Shippensburg in Shippensburg in a 6:00pm ET start, and then they'll play at Shepherd in Shepherdstown, WV at 1:00pm ET on Saturday, October 24th. Lackawanna won't be back home until Friday, November 6th, with a home match against Kutztown University.
