Junior Tanner Turner-Rush (Harrisburg, PA) will return to the hardwood once her soccer season is complete. A valuable reserve guard who averaged 27 minutes per game off the bench, she ended 50th in the league a season ago with 7.3 points per game, 14th with a .354 three-point percentage, 19th with 1.6 three-pointers per contest, 36th with 0.3 blocks per game, 45th with 0.9 steals per contest and scored in double figures 10 times.
