Russ Rose on former Penn State libero and current Michigan State assistant coach Dominique (Gonzalez) Tomlin:
“Well, one of the things I liked the most about Dom Gonzalez when she was one of our captains is I saw her every day. I thought she was a terrific player, a terrific leader, a great representative of her family. She represented Penn State in a great way, always worked hard, and I think is making great contributions as a coach. Her mother is still coaching. She came from a program where there were always high expectations for her. I was for sure not her toughest coach. Her mother was way harder than I was, but I’ve always been a big advocate for all of my players who want to get into coaching and give them my opinions on the profession. Dom is doing a great job at Michigan State.”

Rose told Starck after the press conference last night that she’s starting against Michigan State, by the way.

Rose told Starck after the press conference last night that she’s starting against Michigan State, by the way. Just curious, has Erica' play slipped or has Anjelina just surpassed her.

I think (based on nothing more than my guessing) that the injury (foot/ankle?) Erika suffered has not healed completely. She was starting to heat up offensively before the injury -- cutting down on attack errors -- but hasn't been the same since, other than the first set or two versus Wisconsin. That's not to say Anjelina wouldn't have passed her anyway -- I have no idea -- but my guess is that the injury has affected Erika's play alot.
