Shadewald is coming off a junior season that saw her named first-team All-State in Division I by the Wisconsin Volleyball Coaches Association. The 6-foot outside hitter had 409 kills and 354 digs as she helped lead the Eagles to a 23-6 record and a state semifinal appearance.
Sauk Prairie would end up losing to Hamilton 25-13, 25-11, 25-23.
Shadewald still has one more year of high school remaining, but this year the Wright State Raiders have gone 16-1 and won a Horizon League Championship. They’ll play Samford in the first round of the NCAA National Tournament.
