The Chicago Tribune has named Maine West senior Angela Dugalic its 2020 Illinois Ms. Basketball award winner based on a statewide vote by coaches and media.
A McDonald’s All-American, Dugalic is slated to continue her playing career at the University of Oregon next year. The 6-4 Dugalic led the Warriors to back-to-back state final appearances as a sophomore and junior, placing third in 2018, before winning the school’s second state title as a junior in 2019. Dugalic’s senior season ended with a Super-Sectional loss to eventual state champ Fremd.
Dugalic received three times more first-place votes than the second-place finisher. 2020 Ms. Basketball voting results, as well as past winners, posted below.
