Russ Rose Then (1995): “I think if Lindsay can relax and develop a refreshed relationship with herself she can be an awfully good player. She’s incredibly competitive and an intelligent person that is much too hard on herself at times. She’s strong, works hard, and I think offensively she has all the qualities to be a big time player. She is due to be an All-
Conference performer.”
Russ Rose Now (2025): “Lindsay was a strong athlete and outside attacker. She had a heavy hand and was aggressive with how she played the game. She had some injuries that held her back at times, but she was a very important contributor to the program.”
