Pearl was offered from Niagara University a few days ago.

Pearl earned her third All-NEPSAC honor this season and has compiled a 60–20 record over three years, along with two Defensive Player of the Year awards. She consistently dominates in the post, using her size to seal defenders and finish efficiently around the rim. She controls the glass on both ends and maximizes her touches with strong, physical play.

With Pearl patrolling the paint, the Bears held opponents to an average of around 43 ppg. It’s not just the blocks though, it’s her ability to completely change the course of shots. Players can’t just come into the paint with Dickson hanging around.

It can now be said with confidence that Berkshire’s utility big is one of the most powerful frontcourt talents in New England in ’27. Pearl’s name should certainly be mentioned when discussing the better centers around. She’s a force to be reckoned with in the defensive paint, naturally deters an absorbent number of shots and can even add some supplementary scoring in various situations when called for. Dickson’s stability plus constant activity downlow makes opponents second guess everything.

Pearl has length and a high-motor that make her one of the more interesting natural talents within the class. Berkshire has a difference maker in their frontcourt. Dickson is ranked as the #48 player in the class and #2 at her position.

Pearl just had herself a career day securing 18 boards against Williston. The difference she makes night to night can be completely game changing. Having an anchor like Dickson downlow is absolutely invaluable.

Pearl has excellent footwork around the basket and a versatile offensive game. She is patient, drawing defenders off her pump fakes to create and-1 opportunities. She spaces the floor well, can knock down mid-range shots, and is an aggressive offensive rebounder, keeping the ball high and finishing putbacks. Pearl had a standout opening night this season, recording a double-double with 10 points, 10 rebounds, along with 5 blocks and 2 steals.

Dickson was a natural rim deterrent that provided a ton of value down low defensively. Even if she wasn’t able to get the block, her presence and activity made players think twice before. Although there’s some raw attributes offensively, it’s hard to contain such a big target all game long. Even when she wasn’t finishing, Dickson was still a major factor on the glass.

Pearl’s size alone can be intimidating, but she brings so much more to the table. She’s dynamic on the glass, grabbing rebounds up at the highest point. Her lane agility along with those long arms make her a natural deterrent for opposing players coming in for layups. Dickson’s offensive game has leaped as well and that’s what’ll be under close watch in the game vs. Rivers. Pearl has a chance to impose her will on a team that’ll be a tad undersized.
