Russ Rose Then (2017): “Lainy is entering her senior year and has always been a strong server for us. There are days where she competes like a real veteran, and that’s what we’ll need from her during this season. She’ll need to be a tough server and assist others in back row play and help out with serve reception. She had a terrific freshman year and has been chasing that performance since then.”
