Russ Rose Then (1994): “Lindsay Anderson is certainly one of our top middle blocker candidates. I feel good about Lindsay. I think she has so many special intangibles that will make her a valuable member of the team. She has a good work ethic and is a real good natural blocker, a good offensive player and a good ball-handler. I think when she gets stronger she has a legitimate chance of starting this year.”
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.”
