Russ Rose Then (2016): “We have really high expectations for Ali as a passer-hitter and a six rotation player. She had a terrific freshman season and then had some challenges associated with her sophomore season, which is how life works. So much of where she is this year will be demonstrated by how hard she prepares for the upcoming season. She is a great teammate and explosive as an athlete.”
