Frontenac's Amy Cotton bound for Queen's women's basketball program


Posted: July 4th, 2013 @ 12:13am


Kingston's Amy Cotton is one of three players who have committed to attend Queen's University and play for the varsity women's basketball team, the school has announced.

Cotton, a 5-foot-11 wing who played at Frontenac Secondary School and in the provincial junior elite league with the Kingston Impact, attended Queen's basketball camps as a youth.

"Having the players coach us they became role models," Cotton said in a release. "Looking up to those players gave me something to strive for."

A member of the mathematics team at Frontenac, Cotton will be studying engineering at Queen's.

"Amy is a long, lean, athletic player with a great love for the game," said Gaels coach Dave Wilson. "She works extremely hard and plays with an aggressive style well suited to our program. She is a perimeter scoring threat who also has the capability of getting to the rim."

At Frontenac, Cotton played for former Gael Karlyn Pixley (nee Pennell), which Wilson said is a bonus.

"Karlyn knows what it takes to play at the (university) level and prepares her players well," Wilson said in the release.

The other two recruits to commit to Queen's are Andrea Priamo, a 6-foot post player from Guelph, and Sarah Saftich, a guard from Markham who attended Bill Crothers Secondary School and played Juel ball with the North Toronto Huskies.

Wilson says that Priamo, who will be studying science, is an excellent rebounder, particularly off the offensive glass.

"She will cause fits for the opposition's defensive (rebounders)," he said. "She has played in very successful programs, both high school and club, and brings a winning mentality."

Saftich, bound for the School of Kinesiology, is a legacy, having been preceeded to Queen's by three cousins. She was a member of the Huskies' 2012 Juel championship team.

"Sarah is a very intelligent player who sees the floor and distributes the ball very well," Wilson said. "She works exceptionally hard."
