Amanda Bricker is not your ordinary Division 1 softball player. Born genetically deaf, Bricker refused to let her disability hold her back. She’s the starting shortstop for the Pacific Tigers, and she aspires to become an audiologist so she can help others with disabilities.
The West Coast Conference and ESPN have expanded their longstanding media rights relationship. ESPN+ will serve as the new, exclusive digital home for the WCC and Pacific Athletics.
