Russ Rose Then (2017): “Clare’s strength is her volleyball IQ. She always plays hard and never gets rattled. She’s played a lot of volleyball, and I think that’s a great positive. The speed of the game and the physical nature are things right now that she needs to close the gap on, but she’s really comfortable and confident from a skills aspect which is great.”
Russ Rose Now (2026): “Clare transferred in from Saint Mary’s in California. She was an experienced player that came in and made some valuable contributions and filled some gaps for us while she was here. She was a player that understood the game and was on the floor to make plays, and was a team captain in her senior year, along with Haleigh Washington and Simone Lee. I believe she is still coaching and giving back to the game.”
