HEAD COACH KELLY GRAVES
"Te-Hina's skillset is incredible. She reminds me of Sabrina (Ionescu) in her ability to affect the game in so many ways. She is a strong rebounder, an uncanny passer and an elite three-point shooter. She's an unselfish teammate, a hard worker who always plays the game with a huge smile, and a baller to the max with a really high basketball IQ."
