Russ Rose Then (2016): “Lainy had a really impactful freshman year and did not really have the same impact in her sophomore year. I think Lainy has picked up on what she has to do. She knows she has to be able to serve and that has always been her strength. Now she needs to be ableto pass and defend at the same level. As a daughter of a coach, I am confident that she will put in the time.”
