Russ Rose Then (2004): “Ann is a player I haven’t had a chance to see as much because of her location, but she comes from a great volleyball program and played for one of the greats in volleyball — Gene Selznick. If he taught her, she’ll find a way to contribute.”
Russ Rose Now (2025): “Ann Naylor was another person who was happy to be at Penn State. Her dad and a lot of her siblings went to Penn State and she married a former Penn State football player (Rich Ohrnberger). She had a good serve and wasn’t afraid to defend and play hard. She was here at Penn State for the right reasons, she cared about the program, and she worked hard every day. She played in half of our matches during our 2007 National Championship Season.”
