Freshman guard will take redshirt this season

Thursday, November 12, 2009

Coach Bonnie Henrickson announced Tuesday that she will redshirt freshman forward Tania Jackson for the 2009-2010 season.

After missing her entire senior season at Lawrence High School because of a knee injury suffered in practice, Jackson has recovered slower than expected from her surgery.

“This is really the best thing for Tania,” Henrickson said in a prepared statement. “Taking a redshirt will allow her to get completely healthy.”

Jackson will still be permitted to travel and practice with the team.

“Not only will she be able to improve her own game, but she can also challenge her teammates day in and day out and help grow their game,” Henrickson said.

In limited action in the preseason, Jackson scored one point and grabbed three rebounds over eight minutes of play.

She will look to come back next year fully healthy and ready to contribute to a team that will be without primary scorers Danielle McCray and Sade Morris.
