LOUDONVILLE, NY - Siena Women's Basketball was well represented with four selections on 2024-25 All-Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) teams, as announced by the league on Monday ahead of the 2025 MAAC Women's Basketball Championship at Jim Whelan Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, New Jersey.
 
Siena had one representative on each team, starting with the unanimous selection of Teresa Seppala on the All-MAAC First Team. Ahniysha Jackson was named Second Team All-MAAC for the first time in her career, while Anajah Brown took home Third Team All-MAAC for the third consecutive season. Freshman Myriam Traore earned All-Rookie Team honors as well. 
 
Gal Raviv of Quinnipiac became the first player in MAAC history to capture Player and Rookie of the Year accolades in the same season. Ny'Ceara Pryor of Sacred Heart was named the league's Defensive Player of the Year, while Raiana Brown of Fairfield took home Sixth Player of the year honors. After leading Quinnipiac to the second-seed in the MAAC Championships, Tricia Fabbri was dubbed the MAAC Coach of the Year. 
 
Seppala was voted as one of two unanimous All-MAAC First Team selections. The junior leads the country shooting 95.3% from the free throw line (102-107) which also stands as a program single-season record entering the MAAC Championships. She capped off the regular season ranked fourth in the league averaging a career-high 16.5 PPG, and set a new single-season best shooting 40.3% from beyond the arc. Seppala was also one of just three players in the MAAC to average at least 16 points and six rebounds per game. This is her second consecutive All-MAAC First Team honor in a season in which she was named MAAC Player of the Week once (1/6/25), to the NCAA.com Week 10 Starting Lineup (1/8/25), became the 31st player in program history to 1,000 career points, and also joining the program's 500 rebound club. 
 
For the second time in her career, Jackson earned All-MAAC honors after being selected to the Second Team. One season removed from Third Team accolades, the Preseason All-MAAC Second Team selection lived up to the distinction - entering the postseason fifth in the conference netting a career-high 15.3 PPG. The local standout set the program record for made three-pointers in a career in the regular season finale - now with 207 - and earlier this season became the 30th Saint to reach 1,000 career points. Aside from scoring, Jackson has assisted at a career rate with 2.7 per game which is a top-15 mark in the conference. 
 
Brown was selected to the All-MAAC Third Team for the third consecutive season. The senior concluded the regular season fifth in the league coming down with 7.2 rebounds per game, as well as ninth averaging just under one block per outing. This season she became just one of six players in program history to eclipse both 500 career rebounds and 100 career blocks, and has since climbed into the 600-rebounds club - becoming just one of 22 players to do so. Brown's 59 total assists (2.3 per game) throughout the regular season were not only a career high, but were more than her total from her first three seasons combined. 
 
Traore earned an All-Rookie Team nod, becoming the fourth Saint this decade to be featured on the team. The France native Appeared in 21 games with six starts with her 7.6 PPG ranking fourth on the Saints on a team-high 53.2% clip from the field. Traore scored in double figures six times this season, most notably with a career-high 15 at Quinnipiac on Feb. 1. She recently secured her first collegiate double-double at top-seeded Fairfield on Mar. 6 with 12 points and a career-high 11 rebounds. 
 
Additionally, Jackson, Seppala, Eszter Turi, and Alden Yergey were named to the MAAC All-Academic Team - the program's most selections since 2018. To be eligible for the MAAC All-Academic Team, a student-athlete must complete two semesters at their institution and hold a cumulative grade point average of 3.20 on a 4.0 scale.

The Saints take on sixth-seeded Merrimack in the MAAC Quarterfinals at 2:30 p.m. Thursday from Jim Whelan Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, NJ.
