“Nine — The 2010 Freshman Class,” DigNittanyVolleyball, Dec. 31, 2009
Russ Rose Then (2010): “When healthy, I know she is a terrific offensive player. She played with Mikinzie on her club team so there are existing good connections. She’s recuperating from an injuy so she may come in a little behind from a physical standpoint. Her participation or being a rcdshirt candidate will depend on her starting point and progress. She was a player involvcd in the USA Youth Program so she’s had great success previously and I think she has the potential ro reach that again.”
Russ Rose Now (2025): “Erica had good vision, fast feet and a good arm. She was bright and aggressive at the net. She had a back injury and didn’t get to play as much as originally planned. She was an integral part of the team, with her ability to communicate with everybody and keep the energy high. Erica was another individual who didn’t play as much as she might have somewhere else, but she always came to the gym with a great attitude and worked hard. After the 2013 season she transferred to the University of Denver, where she played well and helped them to the NCAA tournament. She is having great success in the business world and is getting married.”
