Rashana Siders, American International College basketball
Siders had a homecoming when she went to Waterbury to play with the Yellowjackets against the Post Eagles.
Siders, playing not far from where she starred in high school at Holy Cross, scored 14 points against Post. That effort helped Siders earn Spalding Northeast-10 Conference Rookie of the Week honors.
All Siders did during the week was average 10.3 points and a steal per game. She shot 45.8 percent from the field overall, but an even better 50 percent from three-point land while coming off the AIC bench. The 14 points Siders had against Post is a career-high for the freshman.
Siders has played in all 12 games for the Yellowjackets, averaging 15.9 minutes. She is shooting 87.5 percent from the foul line (7-of-8) and 37.2 from three-point range (16-of-43). The 16 3s that Siders has made leads the team.

| Perry (WCSU athletics) |
Speaking of former Waterbury standouts, it’s difficult to find a player as consistent as this Holy Cross graduate.
All Perry has done in nine games, all starts, is average nearly a double-double. Perry is at 13.1 points per game (third on the team), 8.3 rebounds (first), 2.1 blocks (first), field goal percentage at 59.1 (first), and 29.2 minutes (fourth).
Perry has scored in double figures in seven of nine games, with a high of 20 points against Southern Maine. He completed a double-double in that game with 18 rebounds, also a season-high.
In the next game against Worcester State, Perry had a season-high six blocks. He also had four blocks in a game against Pine Manor.
In another game against Dean, Perry had 12 rebounds.
Perry, a senior, has been one of WCSU’s best players.
