Tessa is a big and strong middle from LaPorte, who seeming always has a pipeline of middles that come through their halls year-in and year-out. Her commitment to D3 Albion is a solid fit for the future M2, and should compete for playing time because of her size and point-scoring ability. I like her breadth on the block, as too few middles from Indiana stay wide enough to be effective defenders. Tessa is different—not only can she block effectively, but can easily transition into a zero-tempo set and terminate at any angle.
