The Saratoga Sparks are very proud to announce that Alexis Perryman will be heading to Elmira College this fall. The 5'-10" guard from Queensbury HIgh School will be studying to become a teacher while helping the Souring Eagles complete in the Elite 8 Conference.

Perryman had a fantastic career with the Sparks averaging almost nine points while collecting 3.2 steals per game. Her efforts during the USA Invitational at Penn State University helped the Sparks secure an 11th place finish. Elmira College is getting one of the best all a round guards in the Capital District.

We wish Alexis well as she starts her college career and thank her and her family for their contributions and dedication to the Sparks program.
