Maryland head coach Steve Aird will serve as the head coach of the Big Ten Volleyball Foreign Tour Team.

For her career, Rosado has played in 100 matches, held 1,346 digs, 285 assists and 57 aces. She ranks sixth all-time in digs. Since joining the Gopher program, Rosado has led the team in digs each year, including 539 as a sophomore.
