Hudson featured a collection of talented underclassmen in 2025. Rausch was present among them, ranking second among Pirates with 196 kills. The freshman added 82 digs and 34.0 blocks, which were the third most on the team. Rausch was standing out through six rotations when I watched CIA 15s at the M1 Rochester Elite Scrimmages in early January. She was most impressive from the outside pin, displaying a strong vertical and powerful swing. Rausch times her blocking well and long arms help execute in that endeavor. She offers lateral quickness in the back row. Rausch is athletic and on a path to big things in the sport.
