AJ Henderson - Georgia Southern Athletics
Sophomore phenom looking to capitalize on her success during the 2023 season
In the 2023 Sun Belt Tournament opening round with Georgia Southern clinging onto a two-point lead and a 2-1 match lead over Arkansas State, disaster struck for freshman phenom outside hitter Reagan Barth and the Eagles.
Up 17-15 in the fourth set, with the mindset of pursuing every ball instilled into her, Barth took an awkward dive for a ball near the scorer's table, and in her words, immediately knew something was wrong.
On the dive, her shoulder had popped out of place, and while she did not know it was a torn labrum at the time, slowly rolled over, popped the shoulder back in and walked off the court.
