Quoting Coach Rose
"A. Scott has improved a great deal and her goals are to be the best. She's our strongest net player, hardest hitter and can play all three front row positions. She will certainly get a lot of big swings for us this year."
Scott's Expectations
"With the addition of the freshmen, as a team we need to get them accustomed to the fast pace of the Big Ten and work hard to win another title."
