Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better


Friday, December 09, 2005

Bummer for fans of exciting point guards: Carla Cortijo may miss some time, perhaps the entire year, due to a re-aggravated knee injury.

Cortijo, who injuried her ACL last year, missed yesterday's game after her knee "felt loose" in practice earlier this week. Said coach Conradt:
Carla has felt a dramatic difference in last few days with that knee. There was no traumatic injury... We took the day off Monday and came back Tuesday and Carla said her knee really was not feeling right. To her, it feels loose and lax. She had a graft on her ACL, and sometimes those grafts become stretched or loosened. None of those are good scenarios, so we will see. She will be evaluated on Monday and get a second opinion. I hope we will have good news, but adversity is part of athletics.
Adversity indeed: the Horns have also lost Earnesia Williams for the year.
