A force to be reckoned with, Amanda topped the Ontario University Athletics (OUA) rankings last season with a staggering 140 blocks and made the OUA All-Star team. Her talent didn't go unnoticed, and DSC coach Alexander Waibl singled her out, praising Amanda's agility and dangerous serve. "With Amanda's exceptional athleticism, dynamic middle blocking, and her relentless, fighting spirit, she's destined to excel in the professional realm," Waibl said.
Amanda expressed her enthusiasm for the new challenge, echoing Waibl's sentiments about the club, organization, and vibrant city of Dresden: "Dresdner SC is a historic powerhouse with an engaged fan base. It offers everything I was looking for – a top team, a robust organization, and a rich cultural hub ripe with history."
To provide some context, Amanda Siksna is a standout volleyball player recognized for her achievements at Queen's University.

Siksna found herself in the limelight, earning the title of First Team OUA All-Star after the 2023-24 season.
