WNBA Career
Trice-Hill was selected in the 3rd round (22nd overall pick) of the 1997 WNBA Draft by the New York Liberty. Her debut game was played on June 21, 1997 in a 67 - 57 win over the Los Angeles Sparks where she recorded 8 points, 1 rebound and 1 steal in the victory. The Liberty would finish the season 17 - 10 with Trice-Hill averaging 4.8 points and 2.4 rebounds. The team reached the WNBA Finals, but would unfortunately lose to the Houston Comets 65 - 51.

She returned to the Liberty for her second season but would miss 10 games after being placed on the team's injured list on June 23, 1998. She was removed from the injured list on July 14 and played her first game back the next day on July 15. She struggled in her return game, playing for 12 minutes and only recording 1 rebound along with no points (0 - 2 FG), 1 foul and 1 turnover in a 65 - 72 loss to the Utah Starzz.

Trice-Hill would play sporadically throughout the rest of the season, playing in just 4 of the Liberty's 14 remaining season games after July 15 (missing the team's last 5 games of the season completely). In those 4 games, she played a total of 21 minutes, scored 9 points and grabbed 5 rebounds. The fourth game of that stretch, played on August 8, 1998, ended up being Trice-Hill's final WNBA game ever. In her last game, she recorded 1 point and 1 rebound as the Liberty defeated the Sparks 80 - 62.

Trice-Hill finished her WNBA career playing all 38 of her games as a member of the Liberty, and averaged 4.1 points and 2.3 rebounds on 53% FG shooting.
