“When I saw him on the field, I just thought, ‘get off, we’re trying to take a team photo’. I had no idea what was really happening, but I’m so happy… I’m still shaking,”
Amanda was quoted as saying by The Advertiser. The team was cheering in the background while Amanda got engaged to her boyfriend.
