PROFILE
Boss keeps building on her game which earned her the 2004 AVP Most Improved Player award. Boss competed with Olympian Barb Fontana in 2004 and Olympic Bronze Medalist Holly McPeak in 2005. Both partnerships yielded consistent top finishes, and in 2006 she doubled the number of finals she played in for the second straight year, playing with both Nancy Mason and Rachel Wacholder. In 2007 she and April Ross netted a title in a Grand Slam event in Norway, becoming the lowest seeded team (29th) to win in the history of the FIVB.
In 2006 Boss finished with her third consecutive season ranking in the top 10 in points. In her first 22 career domestic events, she advanced to Sunday's play (finishing seventh or better) just once, but entering the 2007 season had done so in all but two of her last 43 domestic tournaments.
Boss finished the 2005 season ranked third in blocks (176), and eighth in both hitting percentage (.418) and kill percentage (.549). In 2006 she was seventh in blocks (.80 per game), fifth in kill percentage (.566), and 10th in hitting percentage (.430). She earned her first beach title in 2001 with Heather Lowe at the FIVB Beach Volleyball World Tour Thailand Challenger.
