Rossiter climbing MAAC rebound list
LOUDONVILLE - Siena senior Ryan Rossiter had already earned his title as the top rebounder in school history.
Rossiter now has his sights set on the MAAC record, although he won't catch Lionel Simmons from La Salle, who has grabbed more than 1,400.
Here are the top five rebounders in MAAC history.
1. Lionel Simmons (La Salle) '90 - 1,429
2. Jason Thompson (Rider) '08 - 1,171
3. Drew Henderson (Fairfield) '93 - 1,080
4. Juan Mendez (Niagara) '04 - 1,053
5. Ryan Rossiter (Siena), '11 - 1,045
Rossiter has at least seven games remaining (including one in MAAC tournament) and at his current pace of 13.1 per game, he would end up with 1,137.
He could end up with more games and therefore has a shot at finishing second all-time, ahead of current NBA player Jason Thompson.
"What's been amazing about him is how much he's improved every year," said Siena coach Mitch Buonaguro. "Normally, there's an improvement level and then it levels off, but this guy has gotten better, significantly, every year."
