In her two seasons with the Golden Bear soccer program, Amanda (Olsen) Peterson was a prolific goal scorer and facilitator, setting several records at Concordia.
Averaging over a point and a half per game and over a half a goal per game over 34 career appearances, the Cottage Grove, Minnesota (Park HS) native was a reliable source of offense as she never went more than three games without a goal or an assist in her career.
After joining CSP from Dakota County Technical College, she hit the ground running in her first season on campus. Peterson broke school records with 13 goals and 30 points to earn All-Region and NSIC Newcomer of the Year honors while helping the team to a two-win improvement both overall and in conference play.
She was back for more in her second campaign as she tallied eight goals to go along with 10 assists to garner All-Region and All-NSIC First Team recognition for the second year running. She once again helped the squad improve as they added to both their overall and NSIC win totals.
Since graduation, Peterson has spent the past eight-plus years working in the mortgage business and she currently works as a secondary market team lead at Luminate Home Loans. She met her husband, Dylan, while at DCTC, and they currently reside in Savage with their two sons, William and Isaac.
