Message: [QUOTE="Dillon77, post: 2450698, member: 6620"] Hey there: That's correct. Natalie Achonwa blew out her ACL in the closing minutes of the team's quarterfinal win against Baylor. As Coach McGraw is quoted in the linked story below, when Ace went down, "it sucked the air right out of the room." If you recall, ND was undefeated at the time and went on to still beat Maryland in the semis before falling to the Huskies in the finals. Of the final four "ugghs," the worst moment was in that Final 8 game: Ace was playing so very well and was a leader, a good scorer and the glue of that team. The only good thing to say is that she came back from surgery well, is having a solid career in the pros and with the Canadian Olympic team and just got engaged to be married this summer.
