Wallace commented on Danielle Rottman
"Danielle Rottman is probably the best volleyball player we have coming in. She can play multiple positions. She really understands the game very well. She is a great beach player, which I believe will have a good transfer of skills into our program, in terms of ball control, calmness and knowing where to be on the court to make plays."
