Rautenberg's Prolific Attacking Helps Milford Repeat as State Champs
After Milford’s attack was blocked, libero Libbie Reil kept the play alive by popping the ball up but sent it backward. Adalyn Cisneros chased it down and bump-set it over her head toward the center of the court.
The safe play would have been to send a free ball over and play for another rally, but Shayla Rautenberg had other ideas. The 6-foot-4 junior wound up and unleashed a full attack that ricocheted off the Omaha Concordia block and fell to the floor. The kill was Rautenberg’s 40th of the match on her 79th attack and sent the Eagles back to the Class C1 championship match.
