Sidney McCrea gives NIU a steady senior wing with real shot-making pop
In the 2024-25 season, Sidney McCrea was a reliable Northern Illinois guard who played in all 30 games, started 18, averaged 5.2 points and 4.2 rebounds, and finished ninth in NIU history with 167 career three-pointers[8]. Her biggest separator is perimeter shooting—she matched a career high with 21 points in the 2024-25 season finale at Miami, including five threes, while also adding five rebounds, two assists, and three steals[2][8]. She also brings winning-program glue: academic all-district recognition and a reputation for toughness, consistency, and senior leadership[8].
