Russ Rose Then (2016): “We recruited Clare because the recommendations we received on her were that her volleyball IQ was exceptional. She’s recovering from an injury so we have not seen her play yet, but she is an upbeat, happy human being, who I think the players like. I am confident that she will find a way to help us this season.”
