What a shame, indeed. It's always sad to see a player go down, no matter whether she (or he) is from one's own team or from another. This is a young person who has been injured, no mater who you're rooting for. I vividly remember a game against Cal a few years back when a key Cal player was hurt game and thinking, on no. And then, it might be an advantage for the Card, but I don't want to win that way.
Sadly, sometimes, injuries occur when the officials aren't keeping adequate control of a game. That wasn't the case with Russell's injury given the way it happened, or Haley's injury at OSU in January, but it certainly felt that way last year when Nadia was hurt in the game against USC.
