Quoting Russ Rose
'Kimi is a welcome addition to this year[apos]s team. I like her quickness, her fast release and how competitive she is. In looking to fill our opening at setter, I always came back to the fact that I loved the way she competed. I know that in talking with her previous coach, he kept highlighting the same thing: that she plays like a guy. I think that[apos]s a positive thing.'
Hohl[apos]s Expectations
'To develop as a top setter and to help on and off the court to win another national championship.'
