5-3 guard Alena Cofield brings hustle, rebounding, and instant-impact minutes to Rider
In her 2025-26 freshman season at Rider, Alena Cofield played in 27 games and made 26 starts, averaging 6.5 points and 4.7 rebounds while earning MAAC Rookie of the Week honors once. The biggest differentiator is her energy: at just 5-3, she still rebounds at a strong rate for a guard, which reflects toughness, timing, and relentless effort. Early scouting also points to speed and competitiveness as calling cards, making her a fit for teams that value scrappy, high-motor guards who can help in multiple ways beyond scoring.
