Russ Rose Then (2004): “Syndie has improved a great deal through the years.  I have complete confidence that Syndie is going to continue to give us her best effort.  In spite of some of the physical limitations that might exist, that is enough for me.  I especially enjoy Syndie because she brings a fresh attitude and she keeps the team loose.  I would recruit her again because she is a player that I have really enjoyed having here for four years.  I know that she is going to take her opportunity to get a degree in engineering and use it.  I like that about Syndie.”
