Sydney-James Desroches brings rebounding bite and timely scoring for Eastern Illinois
In the 2025-26 season, Sydney-James Desroches has shown real frontcourt value for Eastern Illinois: after missing seven weeks with a broken wrist, she returned with a career-high 20 points and later posted a second career double-double with 14 points and 11 rebounds, flashing a versatile inside-out impact and strong offensive rebounding instincts.[8][12] Her profile says “glue player who can also hurt you,” thanks to a track record of double-figure scoring bursts, physical work on the glass, and enough perimeter touch to stretch defenses—plus the kind of resilience coaches love after an injury setback.[10][15]
