One of the first great modern-era basketball stars in the Valley, Dube was successful at McAllen High and Pan American University, where she was the nation’s leading scorer.
She was a fierce competitor for legendary Coach Teresa Casso's Lady Bulldogs from 1980-82. An All-Valley MVP and honor student, she scored 1,626 points in high school and led the team to the regional tournament as a junior, averaging 18.5 points per game with a season high of 35.
At Pan American, Dube was No. 1 in the NAIA ranks with 28.4 points per game in 1985 and earned academic All-American status with a 3.8 grade-point average. Her 514 field goals made from 1984-86 is No. 1 in the UTPA record books. Her total points of 1,156 ranks third, but the two ranked above her had the luxury of the three-point shot, which was not used in the 1980s.
