NOV.
22 — McDugle Nabs MCC Player Of The Week Honor
Senior
averages 24.7 points per game in leading Leafs to 2-1 week |
Indianapolis, IN — Mid-Central
Conference 2003-2004 Player of the Year Erin McDugle received her
first honor of the 2004-2005 season Monday, taking the MCC’s
Player of the Week after leading Goshen to a 2-1 record last week.
McDugle, a 6-0 senior center, scored 32 points in the Leafs’ 65-60
win over Siena Heights University on Nov. 17 and tallied a game-high
23 points in Goshen’s defeat of NAIA Div. I ninth-ranked
Campbellsville University on Nov. 19. For the week, McDugle averaged
24.7 points per game, shot 58 percent from the field and shot 78
percent from both the free throw line and the three-point arc.
“Erin has done a tremendous job leading us by effort and
example early in the season,” said Steve Wiktorowski, Goshen
head coach. “She has especially carried us offensively as
some new people get used to our system and playing at this level
of
competition. The remarkable thing about her performance has been
that she has fought through a great deal of pain and illness to
play at a very high level. She is showing signs of getting healthier
and increasing her stamina, which will be important as we start
through our conference schedule and people begin to key on her
more.”
McDugle has been fighting stomach complications due to prolonged
exposure to a certain prescription for chronic back ailments. Goshen
head athletic trainer reports McDugle’s condition as “improving” from
day to day.
McDugle was twice awarded the conference player of the week award
last season en route to taking the league’s player of the
year honor.
Goshen will next host the University of St. Francis to open MCC
competition Tuesday night. Game time is set for 7 p.m. |
