Six foot middle blocker, Amber Kaufman, is a two sport college athlete named as a two-time All-American and two-time Western Athletic Conference champion for Track & Field in the high jump.
Though she recently has been plagued with a recurring abdominal strain, she's reportedly set to play in tomorrow's match against Penn State.
"There have been nights, and I'd like to see more, where she is virtually unstoppable offensively," Wahine Volleyball coach Dave Shoji says.
"When me and (setter) Dani (Mafua) are connecting, sometimes she just makes me feel untouchable," Kaufman said. "If the ball is out of her hands coming to me, sometimes it's going to be a kill no matter what."
Be sure to keep your eye on senior Amber Kaufman as UH Rainbow Wahines take on Penn State in the NCAA Women's Volleyball Semifinals tomorrow at 4pm Hawaii time at Kalapaki Joe's, Kauai's premier sports bar.
