I feel very comfortable between the 30's, I like to make hustle plays and do a lot of the dirty work in transition, moving the ball and helping the team. I enjoy taking the draw, have always been an unselfish teammate and love to run the field. One of my travel coaches said you are named perfectly Grace because you run so gracefully... that made me smile. In addition to playing lacrosse at The Benjamin School, I am a member of the Cross Country team (brutal in August), I play Soccer and began the Breast Cancer Awareness club at my school. On September 8th, 2019 our house burned down and my family has been displaced since then while we rebuild our family home. This set back presented me with the opportunity to evaluate what is important to me. I was back at School and travel practice within days.

My High School Coach Michele Ruth had this to say about me:
Grace Tighe is the complete package. She is fast, tall, strong and skilled. She has incredible field vision and always seems to be in the right place to intercept the ball. She is versatile and can play anywhere on the field. She has great stickwork, proficient with both hands, and can put the ball in the back of the net. She is a formidable defender with great footwork and can cover any player from any point of attack. Grace is super coachable and makes everyone on her team better.

Athletic achievement and competition runs in the family. My father is a member of the Alfred University Basketball Hall Of Fame, my Uncle Patrick played lacrosse at Villanova University and my Uncle Michael played Volleyball at Syracuse University.
