Huskies have tough void to fill

The women’s basketball team is left with a huge void to fill now that sophomore guard Janae Poisson is out for the season with a torn ACL.

The Huskies are going to have to search for ways for their bench to produce in Poisson’s absence, as the sophomore averaged 13 points per game, accounting for 57 percent of the team’s total bench points in the four games she played this season.

“We are going to be without her for the rest of the year,” Head Coach Lisa Carlsen said. “She did tear her ACL, so we are going to have to find a way for our bench to be productive because obviously she was a huge spark for us.
