On Tuesday, Texas A&M announced that the leading goalkeeper Aicha Coulibaly would miss the rest of the season with a knee injury. It was the last example of an unfortunate message that has happened too often in the last month.
South Carolina experienced it in early January, when Ashlin Watkins was lost for the season with a torn ACL. He has not succumbed since.
State Kansas lost after Iok Lee indefinitely until leg fracture. “It’s not good,” said coach Jeff Mitty, although he is likely to be able to return to the Petroleum. Lee, who holds the NCAA Game Record of 61, is an average of 16.0 points and 6.3 rebounds this season
Brie McDean from Maryland suffered a torn ACL in his right knee. Her injury came like Watkins – her knee fastened as she got up for arrangement. McDaniel was the third leading goalkeeper of Maryland and Sparkplug from the bench, an average of 10.6 points, 2.4 assists and 2.1 rebounds. Maryland also lost his best player, Shyanne Sellers, indefinitely due to knee injury.
Uconn had his usual lithium of bumps and bruises, such as Paige Buckers, Azi Food and Griffin Rraby, lacking time while Ayana Patterson is out for the season.

Only at SEC Alabama lost Sarah Ashley Barker (leg) for nearly a month. Auburn’s Taliah Scott missed everyone but three wrist injury matches, and the tigers had a different starting lineup in every game this season due to stinging injuries.
There are countless others to varying degrees throughout the country, plus a variety of diseases that cost players a game or two. How the teams have dealt with these losses also cover the spectrum.
Uconn continues to win. Alabama released several games while Barker was out but managed to stay in the top 25 until she returned.
On the other hand, Pran already had modest expectations, but it was in a free fall. Kansas State lost his first game without Lee. Maryland lost a three straight start to the game in which the sellers were injured (though everyone against the opponents of the top ten).
And then there is South Carolina. Gamecocks somehow seemed to be fine after losing Watkins.
“I am very confident throughout the list,” said Dawn Staley. “They have a way to play well together. They are preparing. They prepare extremely well. They find their foundation. They want each other to play well. ”
This meant other players activated. Chloe Kits should be a consistent rebund. Joyce Edwards had to grow up quickly. And Sania Fagin had to become a protective lurry.
“As the coach, the next man, says,” Fagin said. “We have a back of each other, no matter what. We have it back. You just go out there and play the game that she knows we know how to play and know we know how to play. Just play the game we know. “
He helps that, as Kim Business is puzzled, Watkins is just one of all Americans of the Ten McDonald’s in South Carolina. South Carolina still has many talents, even if there is no one like Watkins.
With that in mind, the coaching staff stressed the players that the goals have not changed. The process may be different, but the result should not be.
“This is nothing but comfort,” Staley said. “I have the feeling that we did not introduce ourselves that we did not have enough to continue to compete at a really high level. As a coaching staff, we never take advantage of it. Yes, we regret that Ash and her are not with us. Do we have the most trust in the people who have remained? Absolutely. “
As a result of Watkins Steel’s injury, he said he believed Gamecocks playing with more freedom. She thought, less pressure to be perfect and this led to a better game.
A few weeks later, Raven Johnson offered a short reason why Gamecocks play so well.
“We do this for Ash.”
