What Coach Tsip has to say:   
"Tina is an explosive shooting guard who has a quick first step and the ability to score the ball from all three levels. She is constantly working on improving her game, and I believe she will also be a tremendous defender for us as well.  She led Western Alamance High School to a North Carolina 3A State Championship this past Spring and was named the Most Outstanding Player in the Tournament. "
