Russ Rose Then (2006):  “Ann did a very nice job in the spring setting for us and she has continued that throughout the summer.  She is going to make contributions as a backup setter and back row player.  She wins our long distance runs as well as the sprints and is a very competitive individual.  She has good experience and has played a great deal of volleyball.  There are certain responsibilities that change when you go from being an underclassman to being an upperclassman, and I hope to see that on the court, but I know she’ll always have a big smile.”
