Lafayette’s Rafnson wins Player of the Year award
On a senior-laden Lafayette volleyball squad this season, it was junior Charlotte Rafnson that stood out most.
Despite being a first-time starter at libero, Rafnson was an integral part of a Lady Commodores team that advanced to the North Half title game and finished with a 16-7 record, and because of Rafnson’s leadership and acrobatic playing style, she is the 2010 Oxford EAGLE Player of the Year.
