Russ Rose Then (2018): “Tori has continued to develop from her redshirt year; she plays hard, and competes hard, and those are the calling cards that she brings to the game. I’d like to think that Tori is going to be able to step up a bit more this season, and not only play with confidence but have a leadership responsibility that others can benefit from and depend on to take some of the load off of the younger players.”
