Russ Rose Then (1999): “Falin is an explosive outside hitter.  We haven’t really seen her enough to know where she is in the mix.  All the reports tht we had on Falin is that she’s an explosive outside hitter who has good ball-handling skills and those are things that attracted us to her.  We feel that shell make a great contribution in the future.”

Russ Rose Now (2025): “Fallon was a talented, physical outside hitter.  There wasn’t alot of playing time available that season, with experienced outside hitters like Carrie Schonveld,Katie Schumacher, and Amanda Rome already on the roster.  So we redshirted her, and I think she felt that she’d have a better chance to get some playing time elsewhere, so she transferred and had a wonderful career at Montana State.  And also played for Team Canada.”
