Cal point guard Asha Thomas hurt in victory
The Cal women’s basketball team had its postgame meeting in the trainer’s room Sunday afternoon.
The players wouldn’t even go to the locker room before checking on their captain, senior point guard Asha Thomas, who suffered an apparent knee injury early in the second half.
“We’ll hope and pray that everything is fine with her, but what I do know is that this is a really special team,” head coach Lindsay Gottlieb said after the No. 15 Bears’ 67-42 victory over Cal State Northridge. “They show it every day on the court, but what you guys don’t get to see is them huddled around A.T. She’s their leader, their little warrior. A.T. is going to be fine, no matter what, and our team is going to be fine, no matter what.
