As a freshman, Szamosi averaged 2.3 points per game while playing an average of six min- utes per game. The European product started 33 out of 34 contests in the Dukes 2014-15 campaign; with her extended playing time also came more production. Szamosi averaged 10.5 points per game and also added 5.71 rebounds per game in her sophomore season. Szamosi kept on rolling during her junior year increas- ing her points per game total to 11.5, finishing the season with a career-best 390 points. Szamosi is not only a star for the Dukes here in Pitts- burgh. The forward has also played for her home country in multiple international events, as well as a handful of European club teams. Szamosi has been named to all tournament teams in three different FIBA events, the first at the 2010 U16 FIBA European Championships, and the other two at the U18 FIBA European Championships in 2011 and 2012. Her most recent international appearance occurred after her freshman season when she helped lead the Hungar- ian U20 team to a silver medal at the 2014 U20 European Championships. Szamosi was also named the 2010 Hungarian Player of the Year. Coming out of Hungary, she was considered to be one of the top post players in Europe for her age. While Szamosi knew that she was talented enough to play NCAA Division I basketball, she wasn’t sure if that was the right move for her life. Bry McDermott / Asst.
