It was a good week for Milford volleyball, as the Eagles picked up a pair of wins over Class B opponents and then won a weekend tournament.

“We had a great week last week, with an exciting Thursday and ending the week as the Thayer Central Tournament Champions. We continue to work on the little pieces of the game. The girls are really working hard together and fulfilling what role they have,” Coach Emily Restau said.

The Eagles opened with a 25-9, 25-18, 20-25, 25-8 win over Crete Oct. 6. Shayla Rautenberg notched a season-high 33 kills in the match. The Eagles served 14 aces, led by five from Libbie Reil and four from Adalyn Cisneros. Braelynn Muller put up 26 set assists, and Reil picked up 13 digs, with Cisneros adding 11. Adi Upton finished with 15 assists.

On Oct. 8, the Eagles hosted York and beat the Dukes in four sets 24-26, 27-25, 25-21, 30-28. Rautenberg tied her season high in kills with 33 and served four aces. Muller added 10 kills to go with 30 assists. Upton connected on 18 assists.

On defense, Reil picked up 23 digs, a season high.

The Eagles won the Thayer Central Invite Oct. 10, beating McCool Junction 25-6, 25-10, Elgin/Pope John 25-19, 25-16 and Thayer Central 25-17, 25-15.

Rautenberg finished the day with 37 kills. Reil had 23 digs across the three matches, and Miller delivered 40 assists.
