Central Connecticut women’s basketball interim head coach Kerri Reaves has announced the addition of three student-athletes for the 2022-23 season. Tatiana Brown, Brooke Lechleitner, and Cierra Pearson will join the Blue Devils for the upcoming season.

A honor roll student in the classroom, she was a First Team All-Conference selection and was named MVP at the She Got Game Tournament. Brown played AAU basketball for Foundation Academy and was team MVP.
“Tatiana is a gifted player and has the versatility on the offensive end to score both with her back to the basket as well as facing up,” said Reaves. “She also has very good three-point range and defensively, her toughness and ability to rebound the ball should make an immediate impact. She is a tireless worker both on and off the court.”
Lechleitner is a 6-foot wing from Lake Holcombe School District High School in Lake Holcombe, WI. She played for head coach Jennifer Lechleitner and averaged 17.0 points and 13.0 rebounds.

A standout on the Team Wisconsin Select AAU squad she was tabbed one of the Top 20 Prospects in Wisconsin by PrepGirlsHoops.
“We are elated to have Brooke joining our family,” Reaves said. “She is an extremely versatile player who will contribute on both ends of the floor. She is a big, strong, guard and plays with a physicality and toughness that our team will benefit from. We are looking for Brooke to make an immediate impact in our program both on and off the floor.”
Pearson is a 5-foot-8 guard from Saddle River Day School in Saddle River, NJ. She played for head coach Danny Brown and was a two-year captain, helping her team win a pair of Bergen County championships.

Pearson was a Honor Roll student and a member of the National Junior Honor Society. She also played for the NYC Gauchos AAU program.
“We are very fortune that Cierra chose to be a member of our CCSU women’s basketball family,” said Reaves. “She is a talented scorer from both of the guard spots with deep three-point range.Her size and quickness create a number of opportunities for her to be successful on both ends of the court.She has a quiet confidence about her that is infectious.”
