Russ Rose Then (2016): “Taylor is our best leader at this point in time. She’s the daughter of a coach, has played a lot of volleyball, and knows what the team’s needs are even though she might not be in the best position to provide a solution. Over the course of her career, she’s had a good serve, competes hard, and I would expect her to continue that into her final season.”
