Nationally-Ranked Bulldogs Ink Illinois Prep Standout In Early-Signing Period
The nationally-recognized Ferris State University women's golf program continues to attract top quality student-athletes from the Midwest with the latest being Amanda Bruski (Naperville, Ill./North), who has signed a National Letter of Intent to attend and play women's golf at Ferris State. The announcement was made by ninth-year Ferris State women's golf head coach Brad Bedortha.
"Amanda will be a great addition to our 2008-09 roster," said Bedortha. "She has played in some good competitive tournaments and has gained a lot of quality experience as a result. She believes Ferris State is a great fit for her and has everything she wants from a collegiate program.
"Amanda is an outstanding student and has a great personality," added Bedortha, the 2004-05 National Golf Coaches Association (NGCA) National Coach of the Year.
Bruski earned All-Dupage Valley Conference honors during each of her last three seasons (2005-07) at Naperville (Ill.) North High School under head coach Greta Williams. As a senior in 2007, the team captain registered a 41.0 stroke average per nine holes and finished second-place in regionals while leading NHS to a league title. The two-time (2006-07) team Most Valuable Player averaged 44.7 strokes as a junior in 2006 and compiled a 48.4 average during her 2005 sophomore season. The 5-5 Bruski was selected as the Naperville Sun's 2007 Most Valuable Player as a senior and played a key role in leading her team to consecutive (2006-07) state tourney qualifying appearances.
A four-year (2004-07) varsity letterwinner in golf, Bruski has also been active in the school's Student Government and Gourmet Club. She will graduate from NHS in the spring of 2008.
The daughter of Bob and Mary Bruski of Naperville, Ill., Amanda will major in professional golf management at Ferris State.
The Ferris State women's golf team has placed among the nation's top four NCAA Division II teams at the national championship tournament the last four seasons to date, which includes a third-place showing at the 2007 NCAA-II Women's Golf Championships (5/9-12) in Pace, Fla.
