Russ Rose Then (2016): “Tori is a former camper who we redshirted last year and the expectations are very high for her. She’s especially good off of one foot, has a good arm and I think once she gets healthy, she’ll be in the mix to help us at the middle blocking position. Tori is the daughter of a professional athlete and I know she understands what it takes to succeed.”
