Russ Rose Then (2012): “Maggie has continued to progress in all areas as she has gained strength. She’s been an incredible student all through high school and college, without ever receiving anything lower than an ‘A’. I like that volleyball is important to her and she is not afraid to voice her opinion among her teammates. She’s made great progress this past spring and summer.”
Russ Rose Now (2025): “Maggie was a State College High School graduate and from a family of Penn Staters. She is another player who didn’t play a great deal, but in my mind played a valuable role. She was a great team player who was always upbeat and who worked hard. Maggie was always positive and incredibly bright, as she won the Elite 89 Award in her junior and senior seasons, which is for the student-athlete with the highest cumulative grade-point average participating at the Final Four. It’s not surprising that Maggie has been very successful since she graduated.”
