She was awarded the Gatorade National Circle of Champions Player of the Year in 1999 due to her accomplishments. In 2000, she was awarded her the Orange County Athlete of the of the year for volleyball.

In fact, she won numerous major events using two partners, one of whom is the volleyball legend. The pair teamed along with Jennifer Kessy from 2007-2013, and she also served as Klineman's coach. Kessy as well as Ross proved to be strong on the world circuit, winning the 2009 World Championship as a team. The duo eventually captured an Olympic silver medal during the 2012 Olympic Games in London. They were beaten out for the gold medal by the legendary group comprised of Misty May-Treanor as well as Kerri Walsh (Jennings).

She was also one of the key players to help the Trojans make it to the Final Four. After her sophomore year she was devastated by a personal loss and still earned the distinction of being an All-American. In her last two years, she took the Trojans to the top of the mountain and won consecutive national titles. She was a fantastic player on the court, and was awarded the Honda Sports Award in 2003-04 as the best female volleyball player in the NCAA. Ross majored in International Relations at USC. Unfortunately, Ross mother Margie never got to see Ross's daughter reach the very top of beach volleyball stardom. Ross's mom Margie passed away in 2001. Ross was still a USC sophomore. The cancer was diagnosed as breast. She still holds her mother very dearly. Margie is a source of inspiration, both off and on of the beach.
