In just three seasons, Tinsley has passed 1,600 points for her career, becoming only the second Husky player to do so. She could finish her career this year as the top scorer in Northeastern history if she passes Pam Green's school record of 1,908.

The 5'6 Tinsley played last year as a senior, but, because she entered Northeastern as a partial qualifier and was forced to sit out her freshman year, she was allowed to come back for another season.

Currently a graduate student in education, she is allowed to play her final year of eligibility under NCAA bylaws.

At times this season, it seems as if Tinsley's play has dictated how the rest of the Huskies will perform.

Tinsley likes to shoot, although she hasn't been hitting as many shots this year as she has in years past. In nine games, she is 5-of-34 from behind the arc for a paltry 14.7 percent. Her total field goal percentage is 35 percent.

But the Crimson won't be focusing its attention solely on Tinsley.

Lani Lawrence, a 6'3 junior center who is averaging 12.7 ppg and 8.8 rpg, could be the hardest test thus far for the Crimson frontcourt.

Lawrence scored 27 points, grabbed 11 rebounds and blocked five shots in Northeastern's double-overtime loss to Wisconsin.
