Amanda Ottaway brought elite effort, versatility, and a writer’s-eye for the game to Davidson
Amanda Ottaway was a 6-foot-1 forward for Davidson who built her value on relentless energy, toughness, and two-way versatility rather than flash; Davidson described her as playing “very aggressive” and going hard on both ends, and her junior season log shows she appeared in 27 of 31 games, including both SoCon Tournament games. In other words: she was the kind of player coaches trust, teammates feel, and opponents annoy—an excellent fit for a program that wants grit, brains, and composure.
