Deanna Barry is a perimeter spark for New Paltz
In the 2025-26 season, freshman guard Deanna Barry has emerged as a bench weapon for SUNY New Paltz, flashing real shot-making touch from deep and the kind of energy coaches love: she scored 16 points in her debut on 5-for-8 shooting from 3-point range, then later posted a career-high 18 points in a win, with all of her makes coming from beyond the arc. Barry’s calling card is instant offense, a quick-trigger jumper, and hustle plays that swing momentum—plus she already arrived with a decorated high-school résumé as a two-time All-New York State selection. If your team wants spacing, pace, and a fearless guard who can change a game in a short burst, she’s the type to circle.
