IUP Athletic Hall of Fame
Marissa Dugan was a key part of the first two NCAA tournament teams in the history of the softball program. A four-time All-PSAC selection, she helped IUP to a combined 30 conference victories and two NCAA Mid-Atlantic Regional tournament berths in 1999 and 2000.
Â
A hard-hitting outfielder, Dugan put together some of the best offensive seasons in program history. As a senior, she led the team with a .363 batting average, eight homeruns, 43 runs batted in and a .630 slugging percentage. Both the homerun and RBI totals and slugging percentage marks were school records as she was named first team all-conference for the second time in her career.
Â
At the time of her graduation, Dugan ranked first or second at IUP in 12 career offensive categories and still ranks in the top five in six of those categories today.Â
