A force from the right side, Lauren (Moulton) Marshall ranks as one of the top hitters on the volleyball court in Valparaiso University history, and on Saturday, February 4, she will be inducted into the Valparaiso University Athletics Hall of Fame.

The 2004 Mid-Continent Conference Player of the Year, she helped lead the Brown and Gold to three Mid-Con titles as well as three NCAA Tournament appearances.

A three-time All Mid-Con selection, including twice as a member of the First Team, Marshall still holds the school’s career hitting percentage record at .280.  She also still ranks in the top five all-time with 1,195 career kills and 404 career blocks. 

As a rookie she was named to the Mid-Con All-Freshman Team and was also selected as Valpo’s female Newcomer of the Year by SAAC.  Marshall was a three-time member of the Mid-Con’s All-Academic Team as well. 

Marshall currently is a senior designer for DuPage Credit Union.

The Valparaiso University Athletics Hall of Fame Induction Banquet will be held on Saturday, Feb. 4 in the Community Room of the Christopher Center on campus.  The banquet is slated to begin at 3:30 p.m.  The inductees will also be honored at halftime of the men’s basketball game against Wright State that same evening which tips off at 7:05 p.m.
