FRESHMAN YEAR (1981-82)
When Paula McDole was recruited to Indiana, assistant coach Randy Mascorella compared her play to that of "a diamond in the rough." Last year Paula proved that description to be an accurate one. A quick first step, excellent passing ability, good speed and an uncanny court vision earned Paula seven starts as a freshman. Her best performance, however, came in a reserve role against Illinois State University. Paula scored seven points and had three assists in limited action and proved to be a necessary spark to the Hoosier cause. While McDole made great strides over her freshman campaign, especially on defense, she'll still be working to develop more confidence, consistency and accurate outside shooting touch.
