Amber Simmons was a load-in-the-post scorer with all-conference pedigree at Pacific
In the 2008-09 season, Amber Simmons gave Pacific a reliable interior bucket-getter: she led the Tigers at 16.4 points per game, started 29 of 30 games, and added 6.8 rebounds per game while earning First Team All-Big West honors[3][7]. She also showed big-game punch, including a 33-point outing in a double-overtime win that still ranks among Pacific’s top single-game scoring marks[3]. The differentiator here is old-school, high-usage forward value—physical, efficient, and proven under pressure—which is exactly the kind of presence a team wants when it needs a tough, paint-first finisher[1][2][3].
