Russ Rose Then (2005): “I feel the same way about K as I do about Sam.  I feel she’s one of the top players in the country at her position.  She works hard every day and is a tough competitor with the ability to not only play hard, aggressive defense, but also steady enough to serve receive and lead the team with her play.  She is the heart of this team and I know she will always give her best.”
