Tabitha EshlemanRuss Rose Then (2003): “Tab has played a significant amount of her time at Penn State and I have great confidence that she is quick to the ball. She has developed skills and her major strength is that she has confidence in every aspect of the game. She needs to work on her serve, but she is a good passer and defensive player, and she is solid as a person. She comes to practice every day and works hard, she is pleasant with everyone she interacts with, and she is just a marvelous young person. There are never enough players like Tab in the program.”
