"Tessa was recommended to us by her high school coach, who coached against me and was in my conference during my NCAA DII days. He knows our program and knew that she would be a great addition for us," head coach Steven Gream said. "Tessa is a strong, athletic, and intelligent DS/Libero with explosive quickness, exceptional ball control, and a no-fear attitude. She has the great ability to read the ball, the confidence to take a hard shot from any hitter, and the ball control to provide a quality pass on serve receive. We are very excited to have her as part of our program and know she will thrive and grow as she gains more experience at the college level."

Mossburg is the daughter of Bryan and Shareene Mossburg of Snohomish, Washington.
