Tighe, the No. 44 nationally ranked player in the Class of 2028 by Prep Girls Lacrosse and a member of the USA U17 National Team, is a gritty, physical defender whose speed immediately separates her. She keeps her stick active, disrupts passing lanes, and makes every attacker work to approach the cage. Her physicality stood out against the nation’s best at the USA games, proving she can handle elite matchups. Tighe is also heavily involved in clears, using her speed and awareness to move the ball efficiently through the midfield. Although defense is her foundation, she understands where to be on both ends and can capitalize offensively when given the opportunity. Her toughness and two-way versatility give her tremendous potential at the college level.
