Duquesne’s efficient, high-IQ frontcourt anchor with scoring pedigree
Samantha Pollino was a steady two-way forward for Duquesne, earning Atlantic 10 Second-Team and All-Academic honors while leading the Dukes in 2010-11 with 12.0 points and 6.3 rebounds per game across 32 starts. She finished her Duquesne career ranked among the program’s top 10 in scoring (1,437 points) and field goals (554), which signals sustained production, not just a one-year spike. The big differentiator: a blend of productivity, durability, and academic discipline—exactly the kind of dependable, low-drama, high-floor player coaches love.
