Rall Ready to Join
AU Women’s Basketball |
|
Ashland University head women’s basketball coach Sue Ramsey got some help for her backcourt this week when 5-7 guard Amber Rall (Bucyrus, OH/Wynford) announced that she will attend the university in the fall and play basketball. Rall’s a point guard who averaged 26.3 ppg., this past season. That scoring average was third in the state. She scored over 2,000 points in her career and finished her career in Ohio’s Top 20 for points. In 2002-2003 she led Wynford to an undefeated card during the regular season. She shot 53 percent from the field. Rall is a three-time Division III player of the year. “Coach Ramsey and her coaching staff have done a tremendous job making the college selection process about recruiting a solid person not just a player, even though Amber is both,” said Wynford head coach Amy Taylor. “Both the people and atmosphere of Ashland University attracted Amber in a personal way. She feels she has the opportunity within the Ashland University program to develop as a well-rounded student-athlete in the surrounding area where she grew up.” “Amber is a tremendous addition to our program,” offered Ramsey. “She has great court vision and can obviously put the ball in the basket. Her work ethic and passion for the game are outstanding. She will make an immediate impact both on and off the court at Ashland University.” Rall plans to major in education. Last fall, AU added two more student-athletes - 6-0 Jennifer Miday (North Canton, OH/North Canton Hoover) and 5-7 Melissa Howe (Hilliard, OH/Hilliard-Davidson) - to the roster. Both of those players will begin their college careers in the fall. Ashland is an NCAA Division II institution that competes in the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference. |
