University of Hawaii outside hitter Jessica Keefe will have surgery on her left knee in a few weeks and will miss the rest of the season, UH announced today.
Keefe disclocated her left knee on the final point of the match against Louisiana Tech last Wednesday. UH said she tore her anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), medical collateral ligament (MCL) and both her medial and lateral meniscus.
Keefe is the third UH starter lost for the season because of injuries. She joins Tara Hittle and Nickie Thomas on the injured list.

The extent of her injury is unbelievable. Hopefully, this only ends her season and not her volleyball career.
What are the chances that Arnott will be activated? It may be unfair to her with the season half over but Hawaii needs her more than ever now....especially if there is another injury.

She really blew her knee out!  What happened to her? This had to be more than just coming down on it awkward. |

Ouch, probably in the literal sense, unfortunately. I hope that she is able to get healthy in time for next season.

How unlucky can anyone get with blowing both your collateral ligaments and menisci? I hope she gets back into the lineup next season. GO Jessica!

There have been an unfortunate number of injuries to the Hawaii roster this season. It reminds me of the year when Florida had all those ACL injuries, too sad.

The entire 2004 recruiting class is wiped out!

I hope she gets through it. Rehabbing will be a long and painful process.
