Huge setback on the first day of practice.  Best wishes to Nicki for a speedy recovery.

Damn.  Somehow those "first day of practice" injurys seem worse than others, at least from the emotional standpoint.  Hang in there Nikki, we all wish you a full recovery.

Our best three-point shooter.  More importantly, our best defender who always guarded the opponent's top outside player.  This loss will create a huge void.  But this team has talent and depth.  When Barnes suggests that somebody will step up, it is not wishful thinking or idle talk.  I expect to continue to win.

Looking forward to her complete recovery and watching her in action for two more seasons.  She represents the best of YSU student-athletes on the court and inside the classroom.

Very tough for Nikki and the team. They have some young guards than can hopefully pick up most of her production. Still expecting a good year from the ladies.
