From 2007 until 2013, she was partnered by Jennifer Kessy, who is the coach she is currently. Kessy was Ross's co-coach at the 2009 World Championships. The pair eventually picked up an Olympic silver medal during the 2012 Olympic Games in London. The Misty Maytreanor legendary team and Kerri Jennings took home the gold.

As a freshmen in 2000, her play earned her the Pac-10 as well as NCAA Young Player of the Year awards. In addition, she helped her Trojans to reach the Final Four. The Trojans suffered a heartbreaking personal loss during her sophomore year however she was able to return as an All-American. Through her final two seasons with the Trojans, she helped them win consecutive championships. Ross was an excellent volleyball player and won the Honda Sports Award in 2003-04 as the best female volleyball player in the NCAA. Ross played international relations as a major at USC. Margie Ross, Ross' mother, never had the chance to watch her daughter become an international beach volleyball star. Ross's mom died from cancer of the breast in 2001. Ross had just become sophomore at USC. Her mother is still close to her heart. Margie has always been a source of inspiration to her at and off the beaches.
