COACH ADAIR SAYS
"Ty is no stranger to the game; it's in her genes. She has a high basketball IQ and prides herself on her work ethic. She is relentless on the boards, which will create extra opportunities for us offensively. Her ability to score off the dribble and knock down the mid-range will make her a tough opponent to guard and a force to be reckoned with in the CAA and nationally. I really love her footwork and her ability to really create off her counters when the defense tries to impose their will. I’m really excited to coach Ty and also to have her compete with us. Every day in practice she poses challenges. And it’s really helping our posts and it’s helping us get better in every area. She's a solid all-around player and competitor."
