Since she was a freshman, nothing has come easy for Tierra Ruffin-Pratt. Shoulder injuries have derailed her playing time and her progress as a shooter and all-around player.

She's been able to fight through it to become one of the team's best defenders, and she's always willing to sacrifice her body to make a play. (Tar Heel Blue)
