records as a junior
JAQUES ON BENITEZ: "Jackie is a pure shooter. Add that with her athleticism and Siena fans will enjoy watching that lethal combination on the
court night in and out. She has deep range and will be able to stretch our
opponents' defenses immediately. She has a passion for basketball and
is an exciting player to have the chance to coach."
Katcia Perryman

JAQUES ON PERRYMAN: "In my 16 seasons of coaching, I don't
believe I've had the opportunity to coach a young woman with the raw
talent and athletic ability that Katcia Perryman brings to our program.
Her ceiling as a player is infinite, and I can't wait to get on the court with
her. She has an infectious personality and drive to be great on the court,
in the classroom, and as a person."

comes from very successful high school and AAU programs. She can score
in many ways, but does an even better job of facilitating the offense and
making every player around her better. She will make an immediate
impact on our program and help us improve the pace we play at from day
one."
