The 6-foot senior guard-forward led the Panthers to a 17-7 record and the Class LL state playoffs this past season. Dale averaged 23.4 points, 9.4 rebounds, 3.4 steals and 2.0 assists per game. An All-State selection and a four-time All-Conference honoree, she was named the state's Female Athlete of the Year by the Connecticut Sports Writers Alliance.
Dale has maintained a weighted 5.46 GPA in the classroom. She will attend Brown University this fall, where she will play basketball.
Also a state championship swimmer, Dale has served as a tutor in her school and has volunteered locally on behalf of youth basketball programs and Best Buddies International. "McKenna Dale is a tremendous all-around player," said Vinnie Cianfarani, head coach at Tolland High. "She's got a multi-faceted game: she can post up, drive to the basket and she's a prolific 3-point shooter. She can score in a lot of different ways and you have to game plan against her."
