Bray, Ring, Haggard Collect All-BIG EAST Honors

NEW YORK, N.Y. - Marquette University volleyball graduate student Hattie Bray, senior Natalie Ring, and freshman Isabela Haggard all earned spots on the All-BIG EAST Teams, as announced by the league office Friday morning.

Bray earned her second-straight unanimous selection, and becomes the third player in program history to earn four-straight All-BIG EAST selections, joining Allie Barber (2016-19) and Meghan Niemann (2013-16), after earning the honors in each season since 2021. Ring earns her first-career selection, while Haggard collected All-BIG EAST, All-Freshman, and Co-Freshman of the Year honors from the conference. Haggard is the fourth newcomer in program history to earn the award, and the first since Hope Werch in 2017.

MU also continued their streak of naming three or more student-athletes to the All-BIG EAST Team, a feat accomplished every year since 2005 when the Golden Eagles joined the league.

Bray anchored Marquette's front line all season with dominant play at the net, as the middle blocker led the conference in blocks per set at 1.22 and finished fourth in the league with a stellar .373 hitting percentage, also totaling 118 blocks on the season.

Ring dominated the league offensively throughout the season, as the outside hitter led the conference in kills per set at 4.53 and paced the league in total kills with 439. Ring also topped the BIG EAST in total attacks (1,122) and points per set (5.10).

Haggard made an immediate impact in her freshman season, ranking third in the conference 9.15 assists per set, while her season total of 878 assists placed her fifth in the league. Haggard's steady play guided Marquette to a .257 hitting percentage in conference play, second-best in the BIG EAST. Beyond her setting duties, she contributed across the board with 2.36 digs, 0.79 kills, and 0.55 blocks per set.

Marquette has earned the No. 4 seed in the upcoming BIG EAST Tournament, set for this weekend at the Al McGuire Center. MU takes on top-seeded and No. 12 Creighton this Saturday, Nov. 22, at noon CT.
