“Amanda has as much talent as anyone. She is capable of being a .300 hitter this year and an all-conference player. She is as good as anybody defensively at first base. She has awesome power and quick hands. We would love to have her for another year, but she’s graduating early and is expecting to enroll into physical therapy school.”
