Russ Rose Then (2015): “Haleigh is an exceptional offensive talent. She has picked up her game both offensively and blocking-wise, and I think both she and Ali [Frantti] benefited from their experience with the national team when they trained  there last spring. Haleigh is very smart and has a natural personality that makes others willing to follow her.”
