Washington women’s volleyball outside hitter Sanja
Tomasevic will likely be sidelined for four to five weeks after
sustaining a hand injury at practice last Thursday. The senior, who
leads the top-ranked Huskies in almost all statistical categories,
underwent surgery on Friday to repair two metacarpal bones in her
right hand. She may miss the November match-up against UCLA in
Seattle. “I’m sad that I got hurt, but this time off
will allow some of my other nagging injuries to heal before the
postseason,” Tomasevic told the Seattle Times. “I know
I’m in good hands with my doctors, and I’m anxious to
heal and get back on the court.” Tomasevic is in the top
three in the Pac-10 in kills, service aces and points and was a
second-team All-American selection last season. The Huskies won
their first two matches without her, sweeping the Arizona schools
this past weekend.
