Quoting Russ Rose
"Cathy was a player who I recruited hard out of high school and club. She went to Boston College and was the libero for them last season, so I haven't seen her play in a year. But what I liked about her before was that she was quick, tough and she was confident in her ball-handling skills. I expect her to be ready to go, and I know that she'll always compete."
Quilico's Expectations
"To grow as a volleyball player."
