I had an interesting call the other night from a college coach (no, I'm not going to mention from where) asking if it was a good idea to go and see Waterford's Kerrianne Dugan.
I thought it was a great idea.
Kerrianne can only be described as a blue-collar player. She's very physical, not afraid to mix it up in the post and more than willing to take the likes of Heather Buck from Stonington.
You may say Buck scored 22 points against Dugan and Waterford last Friday night but consider this. The Stonington junior made only 6 of 18 from the floor and the 22 points was eight below her average. In addition, Dugan frustrated her enough to get her into foul trouble in the second quarter and the Lancers, essentially, put the game away before the first half ended.
Dugan finished with 14 points, 10 rebounds and a stat that some may dismiss- seven steals.
That kind of effort led coach Rob Von Achen to say she was the toughest player he's ever coached and she's certainly proved she's also one of the toughest to play against.
