Pederson on Grady: "We love to shoot 3's in our program, and Tessa is a sharp shooting guard with a skill set that we believe will make her a dangerous player in our offensive system. She also provides great length and athleticism that makes her a perfect fit for Coastal Chaos. Tessa felt like a natural fit from the moment we started talking.  Her hard-working mindset and desire to take our program to the next level is exactly what we are looking for at Coastal Carolina!"
