I was at volleyball practice at the Vines Center this morning and one of the Freshmen Kirsten Sanders who is Allyson Sanders sister hurt her ankle pretty badly and had to be taken on a stretcher. Please pray for Kirsten for her healing as well as Allyson as it will be hard for her being that they are sisters.

that sucks! my prayers are with her.

that does stink. Ally has been dealing with injuries for most of her young career too and now Kirsten. Have not met her in person yet (facebook friends) but Kirsten seemed to be very much looking forward to playing this season with big sis. Side note. Dad Craig is a former hooper for LU during the old days of Greg McCauley, Eric Gordon and Co in the early 80's so they are second generation LU athletes.

Wow, horrible news...lets hope she can get better quickly.

[thesportscritic]

i talked to allyson yesterday on facebook and she told me that kirstyn is not in as much pain but it still hurts. So i guess it is a little bit better.

[ATrain]

Will she be able to play in the first match, or is she out for quite a bit? Being in the Ville of Farms, its hard to keep up with the team.

[thesportscritic]

not sure about that. I will try to talk to allyson or if you talk to her first then you can tell me.

[hurricane fan]

my sources tell me minimum six weeks. this is VERY optomistic thinking though. her ankle was dislocated and tore several ligaments. good chance she will end red-shirting this year.

[thesportscritic]

yikes!!

[ATrain]

torn ligaments...yeah, I'd say she's probably redshirting the year.

[PAmedic]

I know most of you probably know this, but dislocates and ligament/cartilage damage is worse than a break, in many- if not most- cases. Not to be pessamistic, but she's likely gonna need a while to rehab that one.

[alquick]

Yeah, she'll be in rehab for awhile. I tore ligaments in my ankle in Feburary and had surgery. I am still in rehab.

[Sly Fox]

Welcome to the board, alquick.

[givemethemic]

I think the above person is Jessica?

[hurricane fan]

No, it's not Jessica. Jessica Nelson is the one who broke both bones in her leg playing basketball. She just got out of her boot this week for the first time since the injury happen.

[givemethemic]

your right, I couldn't remember which one it was...

[thesportscritic]

Kirsten Sanders had her surgery yesterday. Continue to pray for her full recovery of her ankle. Atrain anything else to add?..... or anybody else with the Volleyball team?

I've been in Fredericksburg this weekend w/ the tennis teams, so I haven't been around vball to know
