SALT LAKE CITY — The BYU women’s basketball team will have a big hole to fill next season.
The Cougars’ top returning scorer, sophomore Shaylee Gonzales, will miss the 2019-20 season with a torn ACL and lateral meniscus, she announced on Instagram Thursday.
“Never in a million years would I think that I’d be posting something like this. Today I will be going into surgery because I tore (my) ACL & lateral meniscus during practice this last Monday," Gonzales wrote.
Gonzales led the Cougars with a 17.0 points-per-game average as a freshman in the 2018-19 season, helping BYU post a 26-7 record and advance to the second round of the NCAA Tournament.
