Russ Rose Then (2017): “Clare’s strength is her volleyball IQ. She always plays hard and never gets rattled. She’s played a lot of volleyball, and I think that’s a great positive. The speed of the game and the physical nature are things right now that she needs to close the gap on, but she’s really comfortable and confident from a skills aspect which is great.”
