COACH GLENN ON MCCORMICK:

"Amy is a hard worker and has become a more consistent and confident contributor. She did this by taking it one step at a time and by taking advantage of opportunities as they present themselves. I hope Amy comes through a nagging injury she was nursing this fall so she can help the team in a more direct manner this spring. She has put in a lot of miles and gained significant competitive experience, and I would like to see that hard work pay off for her. I also would like her to have the opportunity to put the new perspective she gained during the fall to good use in the spring."
