Her biggest game came against Drew University, when she totaled 25 kills 和 31 digs, which was one of her 14 double-doubles in 2021.

An 幼儿教育 主修，辅修 心理学 英语作为第二语言, 埃斯波西托, 的Coraopolis, 宾西法尼亚, counts helping a first-grade student reach her highest potential in the classroom as one of her proudest accomplishments at SU.

主教练 Kuuipo汤姆 describes 埃斯波西托 as a true leader.
“Rosina is the epitome of a selfless leader. On the court, an athlete of her caliber could easily develop a ‘look at me’ ego but, wanting the very best outcomes for all her 团队mates 和 coaches, she is a true ‘look to “我的头儿，”汤姆说. 在场下, she is the kind of human that has a keen awareness of others, 他们是否在挣扎, 成功的, 失败或享受史诗般的成功. This underst和ing of her surroundings has helped her develop a sense of empathy, which in turns drives her to raise others above herself.”
Heading into her final year at SU, 埃斯波西托 already knows where she would like her career to go. She plans to graduate with a degree in 幼儿教育 和n pursue her 教育学硕士 在萨斯奎哈纳也是如此.
