Siena University Athletics announced the addition of Brianna Dorr as a new assistant athletic trainer in July 2026.
“I am excited to welcome Brianna to the Sports Medicine staff,” said Director of Student Athlete Performance/Head Athletic Trainer Rebecca Sanger. “She is passionate and has the drive to further build upon the foundation we have set here at Siena Athletics. The health and safety of our student athletes is our number one priority, and I believe Brianna will add to our current staff to maintain that standard.”
Dorr joins Siena following the completion of her Master of Athletic Training degree at Southern Connecticut State University, where she maintained a 4.0 GPA while earning both her bachelor’s and master’s degrees in athletic training. She graduated magna cum laude with her bachelor’s degree in 2024 before completing her master’s degree in 2026.
During her clinical experience, Dorr gained extensive Division I exposure while working with Fairfield University’s women’s basketball program, assisting with daily care, injury evaluations, rehabilitation, and traveling with the team throughout the season, including the NCAA Women’s Basketball Tournament. She also worked with Post University’s men’s lacrosse and women’s soccer programs, Albertus Magnus College’s athletics programs, and East Haven High School, where she provided care for multiple sports while assisting with rehabilitation and return-to-play protocols.
"Siena University stands out to me because of its collaborative commitment to investing in the academic, athletic, and personal success of its student-athletes,” said Dorr. “I am very excited to join the Sports Medicine team and contribute to the community by providing care to the Siena Saints!"
A Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS), Dorr also brings experience as a gymnastics coach, helping athletes develop strength, technique, and performance skills. She was a Division II women’s gymnastics student-athlete at Southern Connecticut State University from 2021-25 and earned multiple academic and professional honors, including the Lloyd Barrow Award and athletic training scholarships recognizing academic and clinical excellence.
