Coach's Comments

"Amanda is an exciting player with great leaping ability who can play both sides of the ball well. She is a well-rounded athlete who provides us with multiple options with her ability to run a variety of sets, serve tough and pass. These abilities, combined with her high energy, powerful attack and strong volleyball IQ, will provide us with a valuable weapon against our opponents."
