Aiyanna Perkins is a steady two-way guard giving UMass reliable minutes
Perkins has carved out a useful role for the Minutewomen in the 2025-26 season, averaging 4.4 points in 17.0 minutes while shooting 41.0% from three, a strong indicator of a guard who can space the floor and stay efficient in limited touches.[7] She also brings defensive edge and versatility: her prep scouting noted she guards multiple positions, plays physical on-ball defense, and “doesn’t let up,” traits that translate well for teams needing toughness and perimeter pressure.[13]
