  • 2009 BIG TEN FRESHMAN OF THE WEEK: October 26 | October 5

    COACH MORETT ON AMY: "Kelsey Amy is a true forward; she's got a lot of speed to her game and a lot of deception. Her deceptive shot can come from anywhere. We're looking for Kelsey to show some speed on the line and hopefully be able to generate some scoring attack for us this year."
