Early life and junior career

Ross was born in Carlsbad, California to Tony and Kathy. Her older brother, Chase, was a member of the men's volleyball team at Pepperdine University. [4]

Ross began working with coaches from the USA Volleyball (USAV) Beach Program in 2008. [5] Competing with Jane Croson, Ross placed ninth at the 2008 U21 World Championships and fifth at the 2009 U19 World Championships. [6] She had another fifth-place finish with teammate Jazmin Machado at the 2009 U21 World Championships. [6] Her breakthrough came in 2010, [7] when Ross and Croson won the U19 World Championships in August. [5] The following month, Ross partnered with Tara Roenicke to win the U21 World Championships, defeating Italy's Marta Menegatti and Viktoria Orsi Toth in three sets in the gold-medal match. [6] With these wins, 17-year-old Ross became the first beach volleyball player to win both age-group World Championships in the same year. [4] [5] By the end of 2010, Ross had been featured in Sports Illustrated's Faces in the Crowd [8] and was named USAV's Beach Female Athlete of the Year. [5] Ross also placed fourth at the U21 World Championships with Sara Hughes two years later. [6]

Ross was also an active club indoor volleyball player and played for Carlsbad High School in her freshman and sophomore years. She graduated as valedictorian from Carlsbad Seaside Academy in 2011. [4]

College

Regarded as one of the top high school recruits for indoor volleyball, Ross played as a right-side hitter for the Washington Huskies during her freshman year in 2011. [4] Ross started in all of the team's 32 matches and led the Huskies in service aces. [4] Following her freshman season, beach volleyball became an NCAA Emerging Sport for Women and several Division I colleges began sponsoring the sport. [9] Ross transferred to Pepperdine University in 2012 in order to pursue NCAA beach volleyball as Washington did not have a team at the time. [9] [7] As a sophomore, she partnered with Caitlin Racich to lead Pepperdine to both the inaugural team and pairs AVCA National Championships. [10] She was named a Division I Collegiate Beach All-American at the end of season. [11] Later that year, Ross and partner Emily Day won the 2012 World University Championships in Maceio, Brazil. [12]

After one season at Pepperdine, Ross left college in 2013 to play beach volleyball professionally. [7]

Amateur career

While still in high school and college, Ross competed as an amateur on the domestic and international professional tours. [6] [7] She made her Association of Volleyball Professionals (AVP) debut at the $105K Long Beach Open in 2008, losing in the first round of the qualifiers. [6] The following year, at the respective ages of 16 and 17, Ross and partner Natalie Hagglund became the youngest team at the time to ever qualify for an AVP main draw at the 2009 Manhattan Beach Open, [13] eventually finishing in 49th place. [6]

Ross qualified for the main draw at four of the five AVP tournaments she entered during the 2010 season, placing as high as 13th before the league suspended operations for the season.[ citation needed ] In July 2012, Ross competed with former Olympian, Nicole Branagh, at the Berlin Grand Slam, making her first main draw in an elite international tournament. [7] The following week, Ross was granted a wild card into the Klagenfurt Grand Slam with her U21 partner, Tara Roenicke, [7] as part of the prize for winning the FIVB Beach Volleyball U21 World Championships in 2010.

[19] The pair went on to reach the finals at the next two AVP stops, losing to Jennifer Kessy and April Ross in the $50K Atlantic City Open, [6] while the final match of the $75K St. Petersburg Open was cancelled due to inclement weather. [20]

On the 2014 World Tour, Ross and Day's best finish was taking fifth place at the $400K Stavanger Grand Slam in June, following a quarterfinal defeat by eventual champions April Ross and Walsh Jennings. [21] The duo also posted two ninth-place finishes at the $400K Shanghai and $500K Long Beach Grand Slams. [22] [23] They ended the World Tour season ranked No. 21.

[25] On the World Tour, they came in second at the $75K Moscow Open in June, losing to the top-seeded Talita Antunes and Larissa França of Brazil in the gold-medal match. [32] They also had a fourth-place finish at the $300K Fort Lauderdale Major, as well as a fifth-place finish at the 2017 World Championships, losing in the quarterfinals to the eventual champions Laura Ludwig and Kira Walkenhorst of Germany. [25]

In March 2018, Ross and partner Brooke Sweat won the bronze medal in the Fort Lauderdale Major of the 2018 FIVB Beach Volleyball World Tour, [33] with Ross recording the most points, kills and blocks in the tournament. [34] Later that month, Ross left her previous partner Sweat to team up with Sara Hughes, [3] who she previously played with in the 2012 U21 World Championships. [35] Hughes and Ross won their first tournament as a team at the AVP New York Open in June 2018, as part of the 2018 AVP Pro Beach Volleyball Tour. [36] The pair medalled in their first FIVB Beach Volleyball World Tour tournament the following month, winning bronze at the Espinho Open.

At the end of 2018, Ross was named USAV's Female Beach Athlete of the Year for the first time since 2010. [40]

Style of play

Ross is a blocker and specializes in playing on the left side of the court. [1] She has been noted for her hand setting, [41] a skill that is uncommon in the women's game. [42] [43] She also possesses good ball control [44] [42] and a strong offensive game. [41] [42] During matches, Ross is known for her calm and reserved demeanor. [42] [45] Teammate Hughes has complimented Ross' aggressiveness at the net, [46] while former partner Sweat described her as "a really consistent, solid, steady player." [45]

Of the 87 players who competed in a Major Series main draw on the 2018 World Tour, Ross ranked first for total points scored, averaging 9.05 points per set; first for total kills, averaging 7.46 kills per set; 24th for number of aces, with around 4.5 percent of her serves being aces; and third for total blocks, averaging 1.19 blocks per set.
