Freshman Guard's Gritty Debut at Wheaton Lyons
Sydney MacCalla, a 5'6" freshman guard from Middletown, NY, kicked off her 2025-26 season with Wheaton College (MA) Lyons posting 2 points, 3 rebounds, and 1 steal in 19 minutes during a tough 76-24 loss to Brown on Dec. 29—shooting 1-of-8 FG but battling on the glass and defense. Her rebounding tenacity and hustle stand out for a smaller guard, signaling high motor and intangibles ideal for teams needing pesky, energetic defenders off the bench. With family hoops ties like sister Ashley (top-40 2027 recruit), Sydney's raw potential makes her a developmental gem worth watching.
