“Amanda can play inside, and, on the perimeter, a skill set that we value highly in our post players,” said General Manager Mike Thibault. “With her length and athleticism, we are looking forward to her having a significant impact on both ends of the floor. We are thrilled to have her in a Mystics uniform!”

The center, who has eight years of experience, has appeared in 197 career games. The Center holds averages of 6.2 points and 4.0 rebounds in 15.7 minutes per game.
