Russ Rose Then (2015): “Ali is coming off being recognized as the nation’s Freshman of the Year. It’s a great award, but so much of that is team-generated and she’ll need to elevate her game and ability to carry a heavier load to justify last year’s selection. She is a terrific attacker and has a hitter’s mentality.”
