Russ Rose Then (2010): ”Megan is a player who played and contributed in the National Championship match late year. I have confidence that Megan can handle the prcssure of making plays. She serves and passes well, and is quick, while possessing a good volleyball IQ and knowing how to make plays. Megan has the potential to set a little bit and be a back row player. She played well in Brazil. Megan will receive some opportunities to show if she can make bigger contributions.”
Russ Rose Now (2025): “Megan was a talented player whose mother was a coach and who played volleyball for me earlier at Penn State. You could tell that she was the daughter of a coach. She had a good feel for the game, both tactically and reading the game well and making adjustments. She was on our National Championship teams in 2008, 2009, and 2010. After she graduated, she received an advanced degree and played in England. She was an assistant coach at several college programs in the United States, and now is the head coach at George Mason University.”
