Ross, a three-time All-American with USC's indoor women's volleyball team, bounced back from her surprising loss in the semifinals to win a bronze medal in beach volleyball with partner Kerri Walsh Jennings on Wednesday. Ross and Walsh Jennings dropped the first set to Brazil's Larissa Franca Maestrini and Talita Rocha, but the pair came back to win the last two sets to secure a medal. It's Ross' second medal in as many trips to the Olympics, having won a silver at London 2012 with fellow Trojan Jennifer Kessy.
