Hall of Fame
The all-time leader in minutes played in program history, Katie Sire was a critical part of one of the most successful stretches in the history of Montclair Women's Basketball. Across 3,729 minutes and four seasons, Sire accumulated 1,758 points, 954 rebounds, 231 assists, and 239 steals while helping the Red Hawks qualify for the NCAA Division III Tournament each year. She appeared in 33 games during her freshman campaign and finished 19th in the NJAC in scoring while ranking 10th in field goal percentage, as the Red Hawks posted a sizzling 31-2 record en route to a NCAA Tournament Final Four appearance and third place finish. The 31-win mark still resides as a program record for a single season.
Sire continued to grow during her sophomore year as she led the team in scoring and rebounds while ranking in the top 15 of the NJAC in six statistical categories. She posted 11 double-double performances to help Montclair win 22 games and make it to a NCAA Tournament Second Round game. The Red Hawks followed that up with a 26-win campaign and another Second Round appearance during her junior season, as Sire once again led the team in scoring and rebounding while ranking in the top ten of the NJAC in four statistical categories. During the 2017-18 season, Montclair notched a 25-4 record and a run to the NCAA Tournament Sweet 16, with Sire averaging a career-best 21.2 points per game.
Her four seasons with the Red Hawks brought in a collection of accolades, as Sire was named NJAC Player of the Year twice, along with two Region Player of the Year honors. She was named an All-American by three different organizations over her final two seasons. Sire sits in the top five of program history in six statistical categories, ranking second in games started and third in games played on top of being the all-time minutes leader. Montclair compiled 104 victories during her time with the Red Hawks, which ranks as one of the most successful four-year stretches in the history of the program.
