Coach Sinn's Comments:

Lizzi is an athletic guard who can use her unique combination of speed and strength to take over a game. She is also a heady player who is constantly looking for ways to help her teammates get involved in the action. She is a steady ball handler and has great ability to get to the basket off the dribble. Her outside game is still developing but can hit the three when left open. Lizzi is a great defender and has a nose for the ball. A graduate of Holy Family Catholic HS. Lizzi will compete for minutes at all three outside positions in her first year in our program.

Prior to St. Thomas:

A 2008 graduate from Holy Family Catholic High School where she earned 9 total letters in Basketball, Soccer, and Football. In soccer she was a team captain, a four time All-Conference, two time team MVP, a one time state participant, and played in the Senior Classic All-State game. In basketball she was two time All- Conference and a team captain. She received two letters as the kicker for the football team. She participated in NHS and school yearbook.

Personal:

Born February 21, 1990...daughter of Bill & Anne Traxler.

My advice to a future Tommie basketball player is….visit a practice and games to see what it is like. That way you will have no surprises and you will be prepared for how the program is run.

My favorite meal is…my mom’s pasta bake, steamed broccoli and green beans, garlic bread, apples, and chocolate milk!

My favorite thing about this team is…the passion everyone has to play the game and improve each day.
