THROUGHOUT HER CAREER, AMY EXEMPLIFIED WHAT IT MEANS TO BE A MAVERICK—DEDICATED, DETERMINED, AND DOMINANT.

A MULTI-SPORT ATHLETE, SHE WAS A STANDOUT ON BOTH THE VOLLEYBALL AND TENNIS COURTS, BUT IT WAS IN VOLLEYBALL WHERE SHE ESTABLISHED HERSELF AS ONE OF THE MOST ELITE PLAYERS IN MCCUTCHEON HISTORY.

AMY WAS A FOUR-YEAR VARSITY VOLLEYBALL PLAYER, HELPING LEAD MCCUTCHEON TO THREE SECTIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS, THREE REGIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS, AND BACK-TO-BACK STATE FINAL FOUR APPEARANCES IN 1987 AND 1988.

INDIVIDUALLY, SHE WAS A TWO-TIME ALL-STATE SELECTION, ALL-AREA HONOREE, AND ALL-CONFERENCE STANDOUT, EARNING TEAM MVP HONORS AND MULTIPLE HITTER-BLOCKER AWARDS.

SHE ALSO EXCELLED IN THE CLASSROOM, BEING NAMED ACADEMIC ALL-STATE IN 1988. SHE MADE HER MARK IN OUR VOLLEYBALL RECORD BOOKS, WITH SCHOOL RECORDS FOR BLOCK SOLOS (123), KILL PERCENTAGE (63%), AND HITTING PERCENTAGE (.540).

AMY'S TALENTS TOOK HER TO DUKE UNIVERSITY, WHERE SHE BECAME ONE OF THE MOST DECORATED PLAYERS IN PROGRAM HISTORY.

A FOUR-YEAR DIVISION I STANDOUT, SHE WAS AN ALL-ACC SELECTION FROM 1990 TO 1993, AN AVCA ALL-REGION HONOREE THREE TIMES, AND A TWO-TIME ACC TOURNAMENT MVP.

SHE ALSO EARNED ACADEMIC ALL-ACC HONORS WHILE ETCHING HER NAME IN THE DUKE RECORD BOOKS, FINISHING IN THE TOP FIVE IN CAREER KILLS, KILLS PER SET, TOTAL POINTS, AND POINTS PER SET.

IN RECOGNITION OF HER DOMINANCE, SHE WAS NAMED TO THE ACC 50TH ANNIVERSARY VOLLEYBALL TEAM, HONORING THE TOP 50 ATHLETES ACROSS ALL SPORTS IN THE CONFERENCE’S FIRST 50 YEARS.

BEYOND COLLEGE, AMY CONTINUED HER ILLUSTRIOUS CAREER AT THE PROFESSIONAL LEVEL, PLAYING INTERNATIONALLY IN SOME OF THE HIGHEST DIVISIONS IN FRANCE AND ITALY FROM 1993 TO 2007. SHE REPRESENTED THE UNITED STATES AT THE 1992 OLYMPIC FESTIVAL GAMES, WHERE SHE WON A GOLD MEDAL WITH THE SOUTH TEAM.

SHE LATER SEGWAYED INTO COACHING, SERVING AS A GRADUATE ASSISTANT AT THE UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN BEFORE GOING ON TO COACH ELITE-LEVEL CLUB VOLLEYBALL FOR BOTH BOYS AND GIRLS TEAMS.

AMY’S JOURNEY FROM MCCUTCHEON TO DUKE, INTERNATIONAL PROFESSIONAL VOLLEYBALL, AND HIGH-LEVEL COACHING IS A TESTAMENT TO HER RELENTLESS DRIVE, TALENT, AND LOVE FOR THE GAME.

AMY, YOU ARE NOT JUST ONE OF THE GREATEST ATHLETES IN MCCUTCHEON HISTORY—YOU ARE AN AMBASSADOR FOR THE SPORT OF VOLLEYBALL, INSPIRING GENERATIONS OF PLAYERS BOTH ON AND OFF THE COURT.

WE CELEBRATE THE CAREER AND LEGACY OF AN ATHLETE WHO HAS REPRESENTED MCCUTCHEON WITH EXCELLENCE, INTEGRITY, AND DISTINCTION.
