Coach’s Comment:“Amber was hurt most of last season and never really got a chance to show how good of a basketball player she is.She is being counted on to provide a great deal of interior defense and rebounding to our program once she gets into basketball shape and learns our system.I look forward to coaching her this season.Depending how quickly she is able to make the transition from volleyball to basketball she has the ability to compete for a starting position.”
