Russ Rose Then (2006): “Kris was really slowed down during the spring by a shouder injury, but some of the things that she accomplished in her previous three years lead me to be very positive about what I would anticipate from her in her senior year.  She is a good server and is a competitive player who cares about the team, and when she gets that tomboy attitude out there on the court she is a terrific player and a fan favorite.  Her knowledge of the game and willingness to play aggressively will hopefully pay dividends”
