When women’s basketball redshirt sophomore and transfer from Ohio State Tori McCoy started feeling ill in November, she had a feeling this was worse than the typical flu bug. She described it as “extreme fatigue.”
“When she started getting sick in November, we knew something was a little bit off,” head coach Carolyn Kieger said. “Thank God our doctors and our team trainers decided to get her tested.”
The results of those tests were far worse than the flu or “fatigue.” She was diagnosed with Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis, a rare kidney disease that attacks the glomeruli in the kidney.
