Two weeks ago, the much-improved Penn State women’s basketball program from a year ago suffered a major, season-altering setback to an already strenuous campaign.
Following the team’s seventh losing effort in its last eight games against Northwestern, Carolyn Kieger announced that senior guard Kelly Jekot would miss the remainder of the season with an undisclosed injury suffered in practice.
Normally, the gut-wrenching news would further deteriorate any young squad built on youth and inexperience. But instead of throwing in the towel, Kieger called for unity within her grieving locker room.
Without the leadership-presence provided by Jekot in the backcourt, Kieger’s talented roster has found success across the board.
