“Recruiting Update: Paulina Prieto-Cerame,” DigNittanyVolleyball, Aug. 19, 2011
Russ Rose Then (2012): “Paulina is a terrific offensive player and has a very aggressive attitude about point scoring opportunities. As long as she, as a go-to attacker, continues to recognize the size of the college block and how she has to alter her attack, she’ll excel. She loves the game and has a bright future.”
Russ Rose Now (2025): “Paulina was one of the top recruits in the country and possessed a really strong arm. During her redshirt year I wanted her to focus on the things that she wasn’t as strong at — serving, passing, and defense instead of just going up and being a terminal attacker. She competed hard with the others at her position and played an important role in the second year that she was here [2013], primarily as a server, and helped us win the NCAA Championship. She played her last two years at Texas and then played professionally in Puerto Rico and with their national team.”
2012 Season (Freshman): Redshirt season. Played in 1 match and 1 set.
