Biography



Senior (2009)
Teddye is one of our captains this season. Teddye will be THE defender for us this season. She came through for us in quite a few tough places last season, showing the fiery competitiveness that makes me smile! With the added consistency to Teddye’s game that she worked for in the spring season, she will be a weapon on the service line, and a Hoover vacuum in the back court.

Junior (2008)

Teddye is retiring her role on the bench and jumping into the core mix of starters in this year’s defense.  Teddye has improved her basic skills and continues to perfect the details of her platform on the back row.  She is a key digger in our back court dynamic when going up against big hitters in the league.  Her vision and determination will be fundamental when looking to our defense for stability.        

Sophomore (2007)


Teddye returns to Principia this year with a renewed energy and some incredible defensive skills. Her ability to inspire her teammates and her toughness on the backrow will be valuable as we look to shut down opponent’s offense.
