Russ Rose Then (1992): : “In my estimation, Andrea was the best volleyball player to come out of the state of Pennsylvania this year. She possesses great skills and is an experieneed setter and hitter. She can fill a lot of gaps for us. Andrea is competitive and smart and wants to play for Penn State. That’s always important. I feel she can satisfy her collegiate aspirations here.”
