South Bend Tribune reporting that Natalie Achonwa injured her knee (MCL) in practice on Saturday. She is scheduled for surgery tomorrow and is expected to miss about a month. Muffet talks about going with a 4-guard lineup which she'd mentioned as an option even before the Achonwa injury.
Achonwa's absence will hurt in the expected Nov 20 match-up with Baylor but, as the article states, she could also miss games against other ranked opponents (So. California, Duke, Kentucky and Purdue). Tough blow for the Irish.
