Kendall Dudley does a little bit of everything in win over Columbia

NEW YORK — Michigan women’s basketball coach Kim Barnes Arico has used the word ‘selfless’ to describe just three players this season: Yaxel Lendeborg, Naz Hillmon and Kendall Dudley. Heading into the preseason, Barnes Arico discussed how Lendeborg and Hillmon’s greatness was directly tied to their willingness to sacrifice individual statlines for the greater good of their teams. Dudley isn’t an offensive heavyweight like the pair of former All-American forwards, but it seems her all-around positive impact for the second-ranked Wolverines is enough to merit a comparison. “Kendall could care less if she scores a point,” Barnes Arico said Oct. 27 at Michigan Media Day. “If our team is successful, she knows that she’s done a great job.” After transferring from UCLA, Dudley became an important role player for Michigan last season, especially as a switchable impact defender.
