The interaction between Sheffield and LC is really great, really funny. Sheffield talking about Charlie and adjusting to college and being away from home, etc: "she's trying to get healthy, which has not been easy for her". That makes it sound like the injury is not a brand new, just happened Monday afternoon or Tuesday morning thing. Is it common for teams to have so many injuries? Franklin, Orzol, Robinson, Smrek, and Fuerbringer all are nursing injuries or recently recovered, and Crawford just had knee surgery less than a year ago. Only Booth seems injury free, but her stats are way down, so I wonder about her too. I've posted this before, but it bears repeating: It's a regular thing at UW football games that they "introduce" other teams during breaks in the game; basketball, hockey, volleyball, etc. This past weekend, it was the 2024 volleyball team's turn. One year - Lauren Gilles and Tiona Williams among them IIRC - when the team went out on the field, there were something like four of them wearing walking boots out onto the field. Maybe not "common", but not particularly unusual either.

It's unusual for this many injuries this early in the season. Normally the wear and tear of the playing competitive matches produces injuries later in the season that have to be managed. Often there are post season procedures of various sorts. But it's not without precedence. I think 2013 was comparable in terms of early season injuries. Wasn't that the year Morey had to play OH on a match because no one else was available? My memory is that, for most of the year, Carlini herself was carrying a lot of long term back and hamstring injuries from early in the season.
