Speaking of the College Select series Malachino got badly boarded in the first period of game 3 and looks like she has a broken leg. No justice that only a minor was called.

Sorry to hear. Hopefully a mild break and back soon. Some bad injuries come out of these exhibition games at the various levels, year after year.

We've had very good success over the years that transfers have become essential elements of the team and it looked like Malachino would be as well. Hopefully we can have her playing before we're too deep into the season.

This may make the teeth gnash a bit with only 11F to start with and 5 of them are Fr. The first 6 games are @ Colgate, BSU at home, then off to the Tunnelers. Might we see a .500 record after the first 6 games?

If it's truly a broken leg she might take a redshirt year instead of playing only a partial season.

People think of "broken leg" as if it were a binary thing. But there's a whole range of things that might be called "broken leg" and yet have a wide range of recovery times. Some sort of hairline fracture or bone bruise or bone stress reaction, and she could be ready to play without missing any time at all.

We'll just have to wait for Sierra to tell us the prognosis. :-)

Hopefully it’s an Ovechkin broken leg or recovery program.

Which is why I wrote "if it's truly a broken leg" and not any of those other things you mention.
 
If it's a simple or hairline fracture she could be playing by early October but we shall see when the time comes. It's all speculation at this point.

Or the Black Knight in a certain movie.

The 2021 national champion UW volleyball team had a backrow defender named Georgia Civita. She was an all-conference transfer from Wichita State who had already had two ACL tears/replacements on the same knee.

At the end of September, that ACL went out again. (Subsequent ACL injuries are often the graft of the replacement ligament coming off the bone, as opposed to a 'new tear'). She missed all of three weeks before she was back on the floor, playing without an ACL at all, wearing this huge brace on her leg.

Two weeks later, she had a partial tear of the plantar fascia on one foot. Missed another two weeks, and then was back on the floor, and played - and played well - the rest of the season, through to the championship.

Of course, the coaches and other players started calling her the Black Knight.
