Expert Analysis
Austin Kingsley | Prep Dig Scout
Pierce’s balance and physicality were seldom countered this year. Riggert ran the show from the middle and tallied double-digit kills in both Bluejay contests in Lincoln. The terminal senior was also an effective server who wasn’t afraid to play some backcourt defense while she was at the line. Pierce will now look to build on one of its best single-season outputs in school history.

Riggert’s career numbers are a microcosm of how much firepower Pierce can wield. This hard-hitting middle blocker has averaged around 2.5 kills per set over the last two seasons and is hovering around the 0.300 mark in attacking efficiency. When the Bluejays are in system, scoring comes easily. Riggert will get plenty of work in her senior seasons as Pierce pursues a “redemption tour” in the state tournament.

Pierce is back in the business of pursuing a title, and Riggert has been a constant for the team’s multi-year success. She’s back to hitting over 0.300 on the season and is maintaining her career average of over two-and-a-half kills per set. This efficiency and reliability will make Riggert a go-to target in high-pressure situations, and Pierce will surely face several of those. The Bluejays are sixth in the ultra-competitive Class C1 wildcard race and could be poised to knock off some juggernauts in Lincoln.

Riggert is hoping to bring Pierce back into the championship spotlight. She was a huge factor in getting the Bluejays there last year with a 0.300 attacking percentage on nearly three kills per set. It’s also worth watching whether Riggert spends most of her time on the pin or in the middle. She’ll excel either way.

Riggert represents Pierce, another small-town powerhouse that appeared on the state tournament stage last year. The physical junior tallied the fourth-most total blocks among Nebraska sophomore in 2022, and Riggert could bring that same production this fall. She might even top those lofty numbers.
