Sumter, SC -Morris College guard Tyneshia Eaddy needed two points to ellipse 1,000 career points as a Lady Hornet. In the first 78 seconds of last Wednesday's game against Coker College, Eaddy drove to the basket for a layup. Eaddy, a 5'10" junior from Marion, SC, currently sits at 1,017 points and 518 rebounds.
Coach Gilbert Wilson remarks on Tyneshia; "Eaddy has an uncanny ability to find ways to score. She is a threat from all areas of the court: from 3-point line, posting up, and driving to basket. She has even added a nice pull-up to her game this year. Besides being an aggressive player on the floor, she is a captain, an excellent leader of our young team, and an excellent academic student. She epitomizes the term student-athlete. She is a great role model and sets a fine example for what it takes to be a successful student-athlete."
Eaddy was named the Association of Independent Institutions (A.I.I.) Female Athlete of the Week for the week of November 18, 2009. She has set a goal to be a NAIA All-American.
