I have only had the opportunity to coach Tessa for a short time (less than a year) but as a freshman she is already showing that she is a very skilled and athletic player. She is a player that always does what is best for the ball. If that means driving hard to cage she has the skillset to get free and a quick release shot with either hand that paints the corners. She plays with her head up and sees EVERYTHING. Her lacrosse IQ is as high as I have ever seen for a freshman which allows her to be a huge threat with the ball in her hands. She isn't just a scorer or a feeder, better yet she is a playmaker. There is so much to like about Tessa's game but the thing that stands out the most about her is her willingness to grind. You won't find a player that goes as hard as Tessa on the ride. She is a turnover machine and gives her team a short field multiple times per game.
