Russ Rose Then (1998): “Tina is a tough backrow player from Chicago that I saw in a clinic. She’s going to come in and she’s going to work hard and she’s going to show some of the things that a lot of our other former players from Chicago have shown. She’s not a big, physical player, but hopefully she’ll work hard and follow in the footsteps of the other players that we’ve had over the years that could come into games and not be afraid to take chances, and be good at what you’re supposed to be good at.”
Russ Rose Now (2025): “Tina was a tough backrow player from Chicago. She had good skills, great energy, and always worked hard. She was one of those players that makes your team better. She continues to give back to the sport as a club coach.”
