Russ Rose Then (2000): “Nadia has more than put in her time here and has been a great role model for the young people, not only with how she works, but also with the type of person she is.  She has always been a great team player.  I expect her to make some solid contributions this season.”

Russ Rose Now (2025): “Nadia and Katie were partners in crime, as they both redshirted in their first year.  A great teammate. Very strong net player, quick in the middle, very strong. After college she went on and played professionally for a while, and also was in coaching for a while [head coach at DePaul from 2010 to 2017].  She works as a fundraiser at Notre Dame.”
