Alyssa Parsons brings veteran poise and playmaking to Rider
Alyssa Parsons is a former Rider guard turned coach, not a current player, so the most relevant recent story is her return to the Broncs’ bench in 2024-25 after coaching at Stevens and Pratt. In her Rider playing career, she was a three-time captain, finished with 289 points and 173 assists in 78 games, and gave the program steady ball-handling, leadership, and dependable shot creation. If you want a high-IQ leader who understands the grind and culture, Parsons is the kind of Broncs alum who instantly raises the basketball temperature.
