FAU Women's Basketball: Third Team Preseason All Sunbelt Honoree

FAU Women's Basketball: Ending the Season Before it Started with an ACL Injury

Being hurt and not being able to play for a year is one of the hardest things for me deal with. Although Im recieving a medical red-shirt and getting another shot at my senior year, the thought of never being able to play with most of my team ever again hurts the most.

Most of the team consists of seniors, some that decided that they don't ever want to play ball again and some that have plans on going to different countries to play. There is one particular senior that I came in with as a freshman, Teri Stamps, who is also my best friend. Not being able to play on our home court together again makes me feel like I'm missing out on so much this year.

As I was told, everything happens for a reason and God has another plan for me. I dont know what he has for me in the future but all I know is that I will work even harder to become the best ball player that I can be and to not let my injury get the best of me.

 "I feel that there needed to be a change in the defense because of the average total points that our opponents are scoring on us", said head coach Chancellor Dugan. "If we can cut down their scoring and continue scoring on our end then we will win a lot more games."
