Tiana is a huge rugby and Quade Cooper fan. Her favourite ice-cream flavour is chocolate chip from Cold Rock.

COACH’S COMMENTS: Tiana’s strengths are her tenacity, flare, natural athleticism, and ability to get to the basket. She has good quickness and is a solid all round athlete. Tiana is a strong competitor, has a strong work ethic and demonstrates a willingness to learn and improve. In moving forward Tiana needs to primarily focus on developing her on-court leadership skills, perimeter shooting ability, 1v1 skills to create her own mid-range shot and take her ball handling and passing skills to another level to become a proficient international level point guard.
