The honor was conferred to her by the Gatorade National Circle of Champions Player of the year in 1999, for her performance. Her volleyball skills also earned her the Orange County Athlete of the Years trophy in 2000. While Ross and Klineman have been doing their thing in 2017 and beyond, Klineman had already been a major participant on the beaches even before the pair formed. She actually won numerous major events with two other partners, one of which was a volleyball icon. She partnered up with Jennifer Kessy from 2007-2013, and also as a coach and Klineman. Alongside Kessy Ross was an ace on the international stage, claiming a world title in 2009. The duo took silver in London's Olympics.

Furthermore, she assisted her Trojans reach the Final Four. During her sophomore season, she experienced a devastating personal loss but still managed to win an All-American.

Individually she had cemented her place as a legend receiving in 2003 and 2004 the Honda Sports Award as the nation's top female collegiate volleyball player. Ross was an international relations major at USC. However, Ross mom Margie was not able to witness her daughter rise to the top levels of beach volleyball superstardom. Ross's mom Margie passed away in the year 2001. Ross was still at the age of a USC sophomore. Her breast cancer had been diagnosed. However, she continues to remember her deceased parent close and dear. Margie has always been a source of inspiration to her both on and off the beach.
