Coach's Comment:  "Amber had a great season last year. 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 adjusts to her teammates. Depending how quickly she is able to make the transition from volleyball to basketball she has the ability to compete for a starting position."
