SPOKANE, Wash. â€" Gonzaga women's basketball head coach Lisa Fortier confirmed Emma Wolfram will be out for the remainder of the season with a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in her left knee.
Wolfram suffered the injury during practice. Due to federal medical records law, no additional details can released.
After fighting back from a shoulder injury, Wolfram appeared in only one game this season for the Zags. The redshirt sophomore scored two points and made a block in eight minutes versus Montana State.
"The injury is disappointing on a lot of levels," GU head coach Lisa Fortier said. "Emma means so much to our team. With that said, we know she will work hard to come back from this injury and be even stronger this time next season. She will continue to be an asset for our team and have a positive impact until she can rejoin us on the court."
Wolfram was vital in the Bulldogs' run through the NCAA Tournament last season. As a redshirt freshman, she had a career-high 17 points in the upset win at Oregon State in the second round. The Kamloops, B.C. native had 10 points, six rebounds and three blocks against George Washington in the first round. Wolfram finished the season with eight points, seven rebounds and four blocks versus Tennessee in the Sweet 16.
