Mechelle takes note Nebraska Cornhusker Kelsey Griffin:

It was almost exactly a year ago that I wrote about a season on the sidelines for Nebraska forward Kelsey Griffin. In her first three years with the Huskers, she'd dealt with mononucleosis; an additional breathing problem that was never quite figured out; a cracked rib and cartilage damage that forced her to play for a while in a quarterback-like flak jacket; and her father, Jim, battling cancer.

Then in August 2008, before what was to be her senior season, she came down on a teammate's foot during a pickup game. That caused a severe sprain, but for the next couple of months, she kept trying to come back. The pain, though, never went away. She had surgery last December and missed the season. The Huskers went 15-16 without her.

So are you ready for the happy ending?
