Elena Joy Tice (born 16 November 1997), also referred to as Lena Tice, is an Ireland women's field hockey international. She was a member of the Ireland team that played in the 2018 Women's Hockey World Cup final. Tice is also an Ireland women's cricket international. She was a dual Ireland women's cricket and field hockey international by the age of 17. ^[2] In 2011, she made her senior international cricket debut, aged just 13 years and 272 days. As a result, after Pakistan's Sajjida Shah, Tice became the second youngest player in the history of cricket, male or female, to make their international debut playing in an official One Day International or Twenty20 International. She also represented Ireland at the 2014 ICC Women's World Twenty20. Tice has also won Irish Senior Cup and Women's Irish Hockey League titles with UCD Ladies' Hockey Club.

Early years and education

Tice is the daughter of George Tice and Scarlett Philips. ^[3] Her father is from England and is a qualified veterinary surgeon who worked as an advisor for Elanco, a multinational food production company. ^{[4] [5]} Her mother, like Elena, is a former pupil of St Gerard's School, Bray ^[6] and has played women's field hockey for the Wicklow Hockey Club senior ladies team in the Leinster League. ^{[7] [8]} Tice was born in Basingstoke, Hampshire. She moved with her family to Indianapolis when she was four and then to Vienna when she was six. Because of George Tice's work, the Tice family regularly relocated. When Tice was eight her family eventually settled in Glenealy, County Wicklow, her mother's hometown. Tice has two older brothers - Patrick, an Ireland under-19 cricket international and Dalton, who has played rugby union for Leinster at under-19 level. In addition to cricket and field hockey, in her youth Tice tried out a variety of sports including baseball, softball, association football, rugby union and horse riding. Tice attended Aravon School and St Gerard's School and is currently studying economics at University College Dublin. ^{[9] [10] [11] [12] [13] [14]}
