Scary head injury in WSU-ASU game

[Plebe]

Just before the end of the 1st quarter, with the score tied 17-17, a player for Washington State (I believe it was Cameron Fernandez) took a charge and banged her head on the floor as she fell back. She has not gotten up in over 15 minutes now, as staff attend to her.

I hope she'll be okay.

ETA: The paramedics from Tempe FD are now at her side.

They just wheeled Fernandez out on a gurney, after both teams gathered around her for a short prayer.

She stayed in a local Phoenix hospital overnight as a precaution, expected to make a full recovery.

Great News. Take your time getting back. Head injuries need to be taken seriously.

Wow.....here's to hoping for a speedy recovery for Ms. Fernandez.

Well, things only got worse for Washington State toward the end of the game.

Chanelle Molina, who scored 28 in their win over UCLA and was named Pac-12 Freshman of the Week for the past 2 weeks, went down with a horrific knee injury in the 4th quarter. As she drove into the lane and planted her left foot for a step-back, her knee buckled to the side.

Any updates?

I haven't seen anything new on Fernandez. An article on SB Nation does say (quoting a tweet from Cindy Brunson) that the injury to Molina is feared to be an ACL tear:
