Sacramento moved Edna Campbell to the IR and activated Mendiola on Friday.
Mendiola has been listed as injured all year, but hasn't really been hurt (Sacto had some cap room so called her "injured" to keep a 12th player). Giuli has spent the time doing exactly the right thing: working out constantly.
"Giuli's been working harder than anyone," coach Whisenant said. "She puts in an hour-and-a-half with [strength coach Al Biancani] before another 2 1/2 hours in practice. Al's trying to lean her down with weights and lots of agility drills. We're trying to get her a step quicker, which will make the difference in this league."
