Amanda Ronan, Auburn Media Relations Intern
If she could describe herself in three words, freshman Bella Rosenthall, would describe herself as athletic, passionate and loving. She would describe herself as athletic for obvious reasons, but she truly exemplifies the characteristics of a passionate and loving person- not just in the game of volleyball, but also in her daily life.
"I'm passionate because I care for things and people," Rosenthall said. "I'm loving because I want to get to know everyone and love everyone I meet."
She looks forward to joining the Auburn Family to ultimately be a part of something bigger than herself.
Before coming to the Plains, Rosenthall was on the 2017 Under Armour Watchlist, 2016 AAU All-American, 2017 All-State, 2016 and 2017 HHC All-Conference, led her team, Yorktown High School, to three-straight Hoosier Heritage Conference championships (2014-2016) and was a part of the 2016 Indiana State Championship team. Rosenthall's biggest goal, athletically, while being at Auburn is to break records, win the SEC and go far in the NCAA Tournament.
