Russ Rose Then (2018): “Amanda is a strong net player with a good arm and a great work ethic. She has attended camp for a number of years and I like how she’s continued to improve, and how she works hard. Every communication that I always have with her, I feel like she’s a mature person beyond her years. I think she’ll be able to adjust to what the expectations are here and what position she needs to be in to contribute.”
