'Tiff is a phenomenal perimeter shooter who has the ability to take over a game with her shooting ability. We missed her greatly during the second half of last season and with her back we become a much better team. Tiffanie's strength and savvy will also allow us to move her around to other positions on the floor. She has a strong determination to have a memorable senior season.'
