Defense

Tanya Roberts spent last season as an assistant with UNLV. She was the team captain for the Running Rebels in 2005 and 2006. Roberts finished her collegiate career ranked 8th in career points at UNLV. In her 4 years she played more games then any other UNLV player ever. In 2006 she was named the MWC tournament MVP as her team won the MWC championship for the third straight year. Also in 2006 Roberts was selected to the NSCAA Western Region III team. 2005 was just as good for Roberts as she was first team all conference and named to the MWC all tournament team.

Coach Mertz stated, "You are getting one of the hardest working players to come out of UNLV in the past few years. She is a true leader and well respected by her peers. They played well for the Tabagators and I am sure they will be very competitive in the Eastern Conference of the WPSL as well."


General Manager PJ Motsiff feels, "Roberts will bring some maturity to our team. She was a captain of a Division 1 championship team and has experience playing in the WPSL. Tanya has seen the level of play in this league and I expect that she will turn some heads here on the east coast."
