“Kaitlyn Hord (2018 MB) Verbals to Penn State,” DigNittanyVolleyball, Feb. 27, 2016

Russ Rose Then (2018): “Kaitlyn is a great natural blocker, who gets up fast and will certainly have a bright future at Penn State and beyond college. I’ve watched Kaitlyn play quite a bit and I especially like her demeanor. Her blocking is ahead of her hitting right now, but I like the fact that she is always smiling, yet works hard.”
