Amanda Groves off the Pitch:

Full Name: Amanda Jean Groves

Nickname(s): Groves, Grovesy

I Chose Cal because...it has the best of everything!

My favorite thing about the Bay Area is...that it's where I grew up, so I have plenty of memories within the area's liveliness.

Something on my iPod that might surprise you...the Sudoku application, I'm a complete nerd and an addict

When I'm upset, I like to...work out!

I get mad when I miss this TV show: "Entourage"

The best moment in sports history was...when Cal beat Stanford in football with "The Play."

Something I learned from my parents is...balance your life and have fun doing it.

If I wasn't a soccer player, I would be...a runner, but soccer is way more entertaining.
