Fagan: Stefanie Dolson is heart of huskies

[UConnCat]

Nice piece on Stef's role on the team which she plays to perfection.

Some have mentioned in other threads some key plays in the game, but I thought one of the most important was Stef's offensive put-back in the second half. Duke scored 5 straight points (including a steal and 3-point play) and the score was cut to 58-44 with the crowd alive. On the next possession Stef missed a lay-up (might have been blocked by Williams) then out-fought Williams and others for the rebound and scored. Big play by Dolson.

I liked this quote:

So that's one thing about Dolson: her court vision. And the thing about having a center who passes like a point guard is that she's usually catching the ball in the heart of the defense, with all angles open. A center who can pass is like having your queen in the middle of the chess board.

I remember that play, which got and deserved a replay. I think the commenters noted there were 4 Dukies and Stef, and she got the ball and put it back in.
