University of Toronto Varsity Blues basketball player Rachael Sider was named the Pioneer Energy Ontario University Athletics female athlete of the week for the period ending January 5, 2014.
Sider, a fourth-year guard, notched a double-double of 20 points and 10 rebounds in leading the varsity Blues women's basketball team to a 58-54 victory over the Ryerson Rams on Sunday at the Athletic Centre Sports Gym.
The New Westminster native went 8-for-22 from the floor and 4-for-8 from beyond the arc en route to a season-high 20 points. She added two assists and one steal on the day.
A philosophy and political science major, Sider drained three three-pointers in the first quarter as the Blues got out to a dominant 15-4 lead. She added another in the second frame and held a game-high 12 points at halftime.
