Rodriguez is 5 -foot-5 and a junior at Nebraska .

She's one of many liberos in NCAA volleyball who are changing the way the game is played.

Elena Scott , a first -team All-American , got injured in Louisville 's 4th -set win over Northern Iowa .

Pitt 's Emmy Klika and Penn State's Gillian Grimes also have harrowing stories to tell.

Even Rodriguez, who can make all the digging and diving look effortless, concedes fear is part of life.
