Manning on Shipp:
“Tara is a tremendous athlete. She also was a terrific basketball player in high school. She covers the goal in just a couple of steps, is quick off her line, explosively jumps for high balls and has fantastic kicking and punting ability. Her potential is exciting to think about. We have a great learning environment here, and we think Tara will develop into a good college ‘keeper with the daily training and experience she will get in our program.”
